Pete Rose remains banned from the Baseball Hall of Fame, but MLB and all of the major sports take money from the online betting rackets. The owners are greedy and lack morality. It’s an indictment of American society.

Pete Rose violated the cardinal rule of baseball, by betting on games in which he had a “duty to perform”, according to the rules of the game. .

The Pete Rose case is fundamentally distinct from discussions about gambling on sports by the general public.
