Really with FIFA it would probably be in cash, they don't want to leave a paper trail at this point. Wouldn't want people thinking they were corrupt, would they?

The check didn't clear yet.

Thats fine I'm pretty sure most people would be okay with referring to those teams as cheaters anyway. Hell they overspend most other teams anyhow, why should I have any respect for them?

But the Astros, and their players from that time especially, seem so indignant about the whole thing that I can't respect them at all. They got the most weak ass punishment possible and they couldn't even pretend to act like they felt bad about it. They didn't get their championship taken away, they weren't barred from the post-season, it most likely won't even be held against those associated with it if they are inducted into the Hall of Fame. And the best part was that they probably didn't need to cheat anyway.

So fuck em, they could have won this ring in the cleanest most legitimate way possible against teams that were cheating against them, it don't matter they'll still be the *'s. If you can't even demonstrate a little bit of guilt even after you are essentially let off the hook, why should anyone ever believe that you won't do it again?
