Sigh. I’m pointing out that winning trumps ethics in professional sports. The NFL has had some high-profile cases, so that came to mind. But if it will put your suspicious mind to rest, you can add cycling and pro baseball to the list. I could add the NBA as well, but no doubt that would be construed as racist too by some of you excitable types.
The incentives in professional sports - financial, status, legacy - are all towards winning. And fans are culpable. We lionize the team that wins the Cup, not the team that iced the best group of guys.
