Quote:Are you saying that they are rewriting history by stripping the title, and what was done on the field?

 

Yes.  If they didn't win, then what exactly were the people watching it happen watching?

 

Quote: Are you saying that it's OK if a team cheats and wins and that there should be NO consequences for cheating?

 

Or that they should just let the cheater's win stand in the record books, but still punish the team, in another way, for their cheating ways?

 

Would it depend on WHAT they did, as far as the cheating goes? Is using ineligible players, although the correct age, a lesser way of cheating then using ineligible players because they are 2,3 or 4 years older then what is in the rules?

 

Do we really need a special set of "cheating rules" for teams that cheat?

 

If you want there to be rules in place, how about actually enforce the rules before the fact?  Sure it may be impossible to catch everything, but the games have been played.  It's done.  Teams won.  Teams  lost.   I mostly watch professional sports, and I know this stuff is a different monster.   And I'm not sure if I'm saying what they should or shouldn't do.  Just from a "philosophical" standpoint, I don't like the concept.
