Americas Pastime- a pure game or cheating/dishonesty

“This podcast is excellent. It helped me, after three years, and a lifetime (58 yrs.), to finally reconcile and restore a sense of peace, a fragile peace, toward sports, in general, baseball, in particularly. I am a sports fan first, I love almost all sports, but the biggest part of my sports heart belongs to baseball. I am an Astros fan. I was in Houston when Harvey hit; and I was there when the ‘Stros won the Series. Like many others, I was beyond elated. I attended the first game of the 2019 season of the Astros in Arlington then a few days later, I was at the 2019 home opener for the reigning World Series Champs (so ironic that the crew had so much trouble removing the shroud over the metal banner (so disappointed there was no real flag)).
When I heard about the scandal, I was emotionally sick for days! Sick of sports, sick of baseball and sick of the Astros. I could not watch any of their games this past year, 2020, until one day, accidentally, I found myself in my car mid-afternoon, returning from a client meeting, when I heard the first playoff game (Astros and Twins) on the radio. I could not stop listening. I found myself caring again and even caring for these young men who had let me, and other Astros fans, so down. However, I still wanted more answers about the scandal. I was still dealing with some of my “grief.” This podcast gave me a sense of “closure” although I expect there will continue to be consequences from this scandal for years to come.
All of this makes me wonder if we need to have a Department of Sports in the Cabinet or a sub-cabinet. There is NO representation for communities and the fans in sports and the fans suffer for it. Manfred, or any other commissioner of a pro league, does NOT protect the fans. Sports have become billion dollar businesses that many times run over the fan.
Thank you Ben Reiter, and crew, and also special shout out to my new friend, Tony Adams, for your search for the truth. Truth is highly underrated in our current culture. Cheating and dishonesty reign in politics, in business, in courts, in sports, and, as is obvious on social media, in our culture at large. We have to work if we want truth, if we want peace, if we want hope for tomorrow. Again, thank you Mr. Reiter for your work for the Truth.”

“I came upon The Edge because I was interested in the Astros fall from grace. I thought I basically knew the story. And I did... sort of. But The Edge provided so much color and insight, from showing the concrete effects on people’s’ lives, to analyzing the exact methods of cheating. The...”Read full review »
