Inside Baseball - The Cheaters

The adage goes 'Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat.' Doesn't seem to apply to Major League Baseball (MLB), and World Series champs, the Houston Astros. In the wake of the sign-stealing scandal, the Astros widely seen as champs with an asterisk. During preseason their players were subjected to abuse from fans and fellow professionals. The Astros slide into infamy only been halted by the delayed start to the season due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

A few officials lost jobs, and half-hearted apologies offered. The Astros did not forfeit their title, winning bonuses, and no substantial fines against the club. Indeed, perhaps, MLB needs to follow the example of the International Olympic Committee, which came down hard on Russian drug cheats. In the soccer world English giants, Manchester City banned from the Champions League after violating financial rules. Cheaters should never prosper, and only the fear of strict censure will root them out.

Russian Roulette

There are billionaires I love and respect not only for their business acumen but also because of their humanitarian efforts. For example, Bill Gates, through his foundation, has impacted lives globally. Especially in the realms of health and education. In contrast, Mark Zuckerberg is all about the money. Despite the 2016 debacle in which we were trolled by bad actors through social media, Zuckerberg seems willing to take cash from anyone without any moral qualms. What Price Democracy?

Shocking revelation, politicians look out for their own personal as well as political interests. Three senior senatorial figures so far have been named in a stock dumping after secret coronavirus briefing. All three sat on key committees that had inside knowledge of the looming crisis. Be ready for a few investigations.

No tears for Harvey Weinstein. It took years to bring this vicious predator justice. Hope he embraces "Rikers' style hospitality." Kudos and love to the brave women who put this monster down.

Much respect!
