Can you blame the players for cheating when coachs and teams cheat? The most recent example includes the famous taping by the New England Patriots. The NBA league along with their officals are currently under investigation.


I think that if you cheat that is immoral even if others around you are cheating too.

When you look at the whole picture how is taking modernday medicance to heal your injuries faster worse than out right "fixing" of games.

As I tell my kids - win at all costs... if you have to bend the rules and/or cheat........do it. Winning is everything. They are also advised to NEVER tell anyone I told them this.

It's not whether you have fun, it's whether you win.

Ah.... reminds me of the Ozzy "I dont know"....


"Its not how you play the game... its if you win or lose.... dont confuse...."




I think the BIGGER picture here with Performance Enhancing Drugs is... when and how will they be legal and recommended in some capacity in the future.

There is much to be gained from taking certain PED's... and I dont mean for winning in sports.... there is a help benefit, a human advancement that we are coming up on.... its the future of the extension of life.

In the 1800's... if you lived to 40.... that was the ceiling.
Less the 200 years later(which is a relatively short period of time in the grand scheme of things).... people are living alot longer.. 80+. Thats double.

Rest assured... the next extension of life in years 120-150 years old is just about around the corner.... it will happen in a couple of decades.... not centuries.

Cheating has been a part of sports for a long, long time. That is not to say that it is okay to cheat, but it has been around.

And that will truly suck. Where the hell are we going to put all of them?

This trying to live forever stuff is scary. We have to die at some point to make room for the new folks. I'm all for improving the quality of life, but that life has to end one day.

I'm all for living longer, but there is no way you can retire at 65, if you are going to live another 50 years. Most people couldn't afford it.

People would have to work until they are 75.....or more. That is something I, for one, would not look forward to.

Understandable question... but you are thinking conventionally... not how things are going to be in the future.

You cant stop advancement for something like "where are we gonna put them"?

Why do we have to die? Because thats the way its always been?

Sorry not good enough for me. We are taught that death is part of life.
I dont believe that is the case. In 50 years or less.... many will think like that.
