Jackson should be because he was acquitted in a court on these charges and his performance in his career justifies it.
I disagree with your opinion on rules violations. We're not dealing with trivial violations of the rules. Isn't your look-the-other-way attitude toward these rules the same attitude the liberal district attorneys, like in the California Bay Area and Seattle, have adapted toward shop lifting? Just like the shoplifting laws are there to protect the property of the shops and to maintain social order, the rules of baseball are there to protect its integrity.
If that is sanctimonious attitude, fine. All human interactions rely on some basic rules that need enforcement.
In the end, I truly don’t care. It’s about grown men playing a game. I used to be a sports nut, but quit watching all sports. Every once in a while I see a story and get sucked in for a moment.
I’ll be getting back to Nabokov now.
Thank you for the reply.
