But I remain a fan of the team. I feel zero shame, I'm not the one that cheated. You deal with the new circumstances and move on.
And by the way, very hard to dole out appropriate punishments in team sports, you end up inevitably hurting innocent people. Lots of Canadian players likely had zero to do with this and didn't benefit. Canadian soccer fans certainly had no idea.
I am all for determining the people responsible and punishing them harshly with suspensions (or fines in the case of pros like the Astros). I feel that is far more of a deterrent than team penalties. Taking away draft picks from the Astros really did nothing to punish the guilty parties. Same with Chayka and the Coyotes. It mainly hurts fans of the team.
