The system is archaic. Taking a 1980s-era system to an early Y2k system does not qualify as progress.
In fact, the entire game itself is archaic in so many ways.
There are so many people who believe that horse racing has an integrity level on par with WWF.
We live in an age where integrity COULD and SHOULD be as close to perfect as possible. "Improvement" is just not enough if the industry expects to survive.
What do I mean by "close to perfect?"
Cheating demands a stiff penalty.- 1st offense 5 years
- 2nd offense lifetime
Should every bettor on every wager not have the expectation that the game's integrity is solid?
While Pete Rose's penalty was probably too severe, the message was sent pretty clearly.
