I have zero interest in having any of my tax dollars pay to lock someone up because they cheated at baseball.

- ksdale 7y agoExactly, I commented above about how the cheating doesn't bother me that much, and I didn't say this because I didn't want to sound flippant, but sports are so not important enough to warrant government involvement.
- monadic2 7y agoNot have I, but prisons are a separate issue. I don’t think fines (or asking individuals to step down) are proportional to the level that this will ultimately destroy the sport at the national level. We already throw people in jail for public urination; why not for urinating on our national pastime?
- lozaning 7y agoI dont, and I cant stress this enough, give a single fuck about baseball or it status as our national pastime. Now look, I'm not anti baseball, I'm not here to yuck your yum or say something shouldn't exist because I don't value or appreciate it. But professional baseball not existing anymore sure seems like a problem solely for the people who care about baseball to figure out, not the federal government.

- jessaustin 7y agoI feel the same way about so-called "insider trading". The full effect is not to prevent the C-suite from stealing from investors, which they do all the time, but rather to punish lower-level defectors from such schemes.
