« A Degree of Ethics | Main | D R Horton, Going Down! »

Say It Ain't So!

That was the angry demand by a young fan of one of the players involved in fixing the 1919 World Series.
No one wants to watch a fixed game though that does not seem to dim enthusiasm for horse racing, long a fixture of mob involvement. And of course Pete Rose ruined his career with gambling.  Now Dallas Radio Personality Mike Gallagher  looks at the case of an NBA referee accused of gambling and perhaps fixing games.  Bad behavior in the NBA seems the norm these days.  But if the games turn out to be fixed, what is the point of watching?

Meanwhile Mike Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, faces dog fighting charges in Federal Court.   Will Vick actually face trial?  A conviction would mean the end of his NFL career.  That rarely happens with big time jock stars, at least as long as they are winning. 

I bring this up as yet another Ethics Issue.  How much longer do sports fans tolerate this bad behavior among its stars?

Unfortunately, these actions are just a sign of how backwards we as a society are. The fact that people who, while exciting to watch as they do things many of us can’t, get paid many times over what we pay our teachers, day care workers, doctors, and others that contribute things of more substance to society, is a sad testament to our priorities as a people. How long will the fans take it? I don’t know, but between steroid allegations, game fixing, and the off the field/court/diamond/ring actions of the competitors, our values really need a good going over.

Roy Rogers and Johhny Unitas and Roger Staubach and Willie Mays and Jesse Owens were the real deal, well put April, I noticed that a commentator tonite was comparing Lindsey Lohan, Paris, and Brittany with yesterday's real stars like Marily Monroe or Clark Gable, will anyone write a song about losing Lindsey Lohan if and when it happens, I doubt it.
