This is why I stopped being a fan of "professional" sports.
Is it because they cheat? No. Is it because they are so much better at what they do than I could ever have become? No.
It's because when they get called out about their cheating ways by another cheater who knows they the are cheating because he knows that the cheater used to cheat for him when he was the cheater's boss before he traded him away to the cheateer in the other dugout, they cry "FOUL" instead of just sitting in the bushes and waiting for an opportunity to bite back. It's the "cry-baby" syndrome of shedding tears over seeing one of the myriad of "unwritten rules" broken. Even though I am now an old man, I cannot get used to the reciprocal righteousness of "hypocrite vs hypocrite" one-up-manship." I have come to a point where the humor of the situation has grown into disgust. I humbly admit that men grow old way before they ever grow up, but professional athletes and their "mystique" has become more than what I can stomach. The story of this episode is made humorous by the fact that the whining, offended cheater who ratted out the cheater who used to cheat for him LOST anyway. So the cheater who ratted out the cheat by "Wiki-leaking" his propensity for cheating to the officials, got beat anyway. Now that, I like.
Then, the cheating boss of the cheater who got "Wiki-leaked" whines and cries about the lack of loyalty of the "Wiki-leaking" opposing cheater to the "unwritten rules" of the game. This type of behavior, says the winning cheater, will cause cheaters all over the league to have to change their ways in order to protect their cheating ways from other cheaters who would know that they cheat and how they cheat because they used to share cheating tactics when they were on the same team. How horrendously traitorous of you! You have contributed to denigrating and despoiling the legion of professionals of the cheating tricks that they have developed to a here-to-fore unheard of level of perfection.
Now that is A+ stupidity on top of political ignorance.
The winning manager should have said [could have said if he too were not a cheater] is: "I have taken my pitcher aside and had a Dutch Uncle talk with him about the evil of cheating. The pitcher who substituted for him and won the game proved to the august and honorable cheater in the other dugout that the cheating ways that he espouses and the disregard of the unwritten rules that he practiced tonight could not protect him from the ignominy of defeat at the hands of an honest and straighforward, clean and righteous mano a mano fighter who has been spared of having to work in the cheating shadows of my opponent's salacious locker room. That's all I have to say."
It reminds me of the Country and Western song, "Ladies, Don't Let Your Sons Grow to be Cowboys." [read: Professional Athletes]
So, last night one cheater beat another. It happens all the time, because in life, there is always a winner and a loser. Like it or not. Take it or leave it. Honest or crooked. It has always been so and will ever remain so.
Amen.
