“Everyone cheats” is a hell of a lesson for the nation’s kids. When it comes to professional sports it might be true. When everyone is at the top of their game, and there are millions of dollars on the line, everyone will look for an advantage. Some people will cross the line, and many of those people will get away with it. Is it time to accept this?
I’m not suggesting pro sports go the route of the great Saturday Night Live skit about the “All-Drug Olympics” from back when the show was funny, but maybe acknowledge that players, even some of the greatest players ever, cheated.
Hank Aaron and Mickey Mantle didn’t take steroids, they weren’t really around then, but the players of that era took other things. Amphetamines called “greenies” were passed around in clubhouses regularly to give players the energy they needed when a night a drinking and cheating on their wives left them wanting for energy the next day. Was that cheating? Probably. But no one from that time is punished for it or kept out of the Hall of Fame.
