Sport Stop
When will the cheating in sports stop?
As the most profitable sport in America, the NFL has the prime opportunity to set an example for all other sports on how it deals with cheaters. The question is, what will the NFL commissioner Goodell do? A different perspective is, should all cheating incidents be treated the same? Compare this incident to players doping up in Baseball and the Tour de France. Except in this case, the evidence would suggest tthe actions went beyond an individual and was more of a team action. Should the Pats be let off the hook with this with a minor sanction, or should the NFL send a message to all atheletes, even beyond the football stadiums, that cheating, in any form will not be tolerated?
The problem is flawed athletes in a flawed system. Can anyone list the bottom five teams in the NFL last year? probably only if one of them happens to be your team. The fact of the matter is that people love winners. It is the culture of the world right now, and has been for a while. For every rule, there is often a written punishment that accompanies breaking that rule. Obviously that punishment should be implemented, but the problem with punishment systems currently is that they predominantly revolve around financial charges.
While $500,000 fine would put me bankrupt, Belichick makes an average of $2.8 million. Because of this heft fine, he will have to live off of a mere $2.3 million. The point being that if he looses games, he looses a job, so he will do what he has to do to win. And if you think about it, how many people have ever told a lie or done something immoral to avoid loosing a job?
I think a great punishment system would be a rejection of records. If a player is caught cheating, all the records from the period of time that the cheating happened would be eliminated. If a team gets caught, then every player looses the stats. after all, would they have thrown 5 touchdowns or ran 400 yards if they didn't cheat? Who knows, but better safe than sorry when it comes to record keeping. I think that would be a punishment that the players would want to avoid. What good is cheating if you loose 3 seasons of records because you cheated that whole time?
