I still don’t think he’ll be in the HOF anytime soon.

At least they didn't say it was sponsored by Only Fans.
The first time I saw Only Fans in a news headline I thought it was sports betting or fantasy league. LOL

I think he’ll make it in. The HOF changed its rules specifically to keep him out because they thought if he were put to a vote he would get in. If anything I think there is less anti-Rose sentiment now than in 1991.

Trump is going to make it happen

FWIW, both Alex Karras and Paul Hornung were both busted for betting on NFL games and were suspended for that season and returned the next year. Both are in the NFL Hall of Fame

I think he’ll be inducted very quickly. The proliferation of sports gambling in recent years has made the whole Pete Rose controversy something of a bad joke.
Heck — I think it’s only a matter of time before most major North American sports leagues are rocked by gambling scandals anyway.

This could VERY EASILY be a real story !

I think he’ll be inducted very quickly. The proliferation of sports gambling in recent years has made the whole Pete Rose controversy something of a bad joke. Especially because he only bet on his own team to win. Not like he threw the games, like the White Sox players (but not Shoeless Joe Jackson, who performed well in that Series)

Betting on his own team to win as no better than betting against it. You play to win the game, not win money. You cannot have equal dual motives; one motive will suffer. It corrupts the game.
What’s the matter with you?

I never went to the site. LOL When I read past the headline I realized what it was. I think it was in the news for women wanting to sue the site for not making them as much money as when a rapper celebrity did porn on it (and her fans gave tons of money to see her do porn).
