Why is Pete Rose STILL banned from the MLB?

[HHR]

being one letter off completely changes this statement

 

[I.V.]

Doesnt matter, he already an official member of the HOF

Hooked on Fonics?

Ain't no worse crime than betting on your sport.

Puts the whole sport's integrity into question. He had to get the banhammer.

Going on god damn 26 years
fukk he do? Bet on his OWN team?
you got muhfukkas who actually cheated being allowed in. The fukk man, what the fukk?
26 God damn years, do they want dude to die while being banned?

That's MLB justice.
Think about how the MLB would have treated him if he were black.

26 years a ban. I don't feel sorry for him.

maybe he's one of the few to ever get caught but I find it extremely hard to believe that coaches/players are not betting on their own sports. as much as ESPN and the media has put a positive spotlight on gambling? find it hard to believe...

So if someone was a murderer or a rapist and then elected to the Hall of Fame that wouldn't be considered worse then betting on games?

If you're a murderer or rapist, you're probably not getting in seeing as they've kept players out of the HOF for less.

 

[god shamgod]

he lied/denied for years then finally admitted it when his book was about to drop.

I'm 50/50 on it,he agreed to the permanent ban but he's damn near 75 aint no tellin how much time he has left on earth.I honestly don't know what I'd do if I was the commissioner
