Everyone cheats, but what about the penalties that are given to the people who are caught? People cheat on many things: school, sports, and, but not limited to, relationships. But there are many ways to cheat in those multiple examples, like in sports cheating can happen with: drugs, academic eligibility, or even through recruiting. With all the sports the focus could be on, college basketball seems to have the easiest examples of cheating. The people who cheat in college basketball could even be the people your child or younger sibling look up to. What makes college basketball coaches break the rules is it worth the penalty?

Anita L. DeFrantz writes in her piece, PEDs: Toppling sports, but is the damage already done?,about the idea that scandals could destroy careers and lives in the long term. According to her, players do not understand the effects even as there is so much information available; “There are hundreds of studies, public service announcements and news articles”(DeFrantz). Players know and fully understand what risks, rewards and consequences there will be. The legendary basketball player and member of Basketball Hall of Fame, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, has had a similar experience. When talking about how fans have mocked LeBron for flopping, he says, “Maybe this is a sign of kids wanting something better from their athletes” (Jabbar). He believes cheating has no place in sports. Jabbar states that the solution is to celebrate those who use their abilities and talents fairly and not

A type of fraud that can be related to my activity (basketball) is a quick ab workout company that claims to get you In shape and helps you lose weight in just minutes a day. Someone that wants to get into basketball will be looking for ways to get in shape or even stay in shape. Hopefully they will not fall for these false advertised deals. To avoid fraud you should do research on the company you are considering purchasing from. Contact the company through email or phone with any questions you may have and if you do not like the answers move on and try different things. Always remember if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! If you are suspicious about a company and suspect that something is fraudulent about it, you can always ask

As of today there are several ongoing corruption scandals, ranging from the use of illegal substances, bribery, and many others. Not only is corruption found in professional sports but it is also becoming more evident in college sports and even in high school sports. We live in a world where athletes are taught they must do whatever it takes to win, even if it means cheating. Corruption in professional sports has changed the sports industry, creating an unfair and unloyal sense of competition within different professional sports. It is presented in different forms today, and stricter laws should be sanctioned upon corruption

There has been overwhelming criticism dished out regarding the gigantic contracts that NBA players are now receiving. Some people do not understand economics or the terms of the TV deal that led to the inflation of contracts. There seems to be a negative opinion consistently floating around the NBA, whether it is the officiating, image, evolution of the game or the high contracts. Opine your critique if you must, but what the NBA just did is remarkable.

The story is about a boy by the name of justin,who thought that playing basketball was “ the one way out of his neighborhood”.In the beginning we learn that justin was a very skilled basketball player who can “drop” anyone in his local court.This came to an end when one day a boy from another neighborhood challenged justin to a basketball game,though reluctant at first justin accepted and just as justin was about to do a lay up the bot shoved justin busting up his knee.After a visit to the doctor justin learns that he may never play basketball with the same amount of skill ever again.Later after six weeks of self pity his sister cheers him up by pointing out that even though he may not ever play basketball he still has to worry about his grades.After

Sport betting has been a part of many scandals in American sports. Athletes, coaches, and referees in various sports have been involved in different scandals through fixing games to change the outcome. To ‘fix’ a game is when gamblers predetermine the outcome of a game by paying money to players, referees, or anyone that can change the outcome. For example, in the 1919 Major League Baseball World Series, the Chicago White Sox lost against the Cincinnati Reds in a scandal that is considered the “…most famous fix of all” (Abram and Davies 6). In the fix “… eight members of the Chicago White Sox lost the World Series to the underdog Cincinnati Reds for a payoff of about $10,000 each” (6). Today, professional

It’s the middle of an eighty-two game basketball season, and you are getting bored because the games have little relevance anymore for your team. Recently you save fifteen dollars on a sale, how about wagering that fifteen dollars on a game for fun. If everything works out right, fifteen more dollars. There are so many forms of gambling that are legal; lotteries horse tracks dog racing casinos and scratch offs are just a few (Rushin). For some reason it is taboo for the American government to allow gambling money on the unforeseen outcome of a pro sporting event, even though they are losing potential monetary gains. Gambling on professional sporting events should undergo changes to make it more legal and beneficial for everyone.

I tend to believe sports statistics as well as generally the number are recorded and cannot be fabricated. However, something that I did not consider is how the media can sensationalize the numbers. Sensationalism is based on unscientific research, which the media is generally guilty of because they are vying for the time and attention of the public. However, the media also realizes the important of getting their facts correct in order to gain the attention of the public (Creasman, 2017). For example, a certain player may be at the top of their game and then suddenly the media is reporting retirement rumors or rumors about being traded to another team. The media does a good job at making people believe what they want them to believe and

In fact this year, the World Anti-Doping Agency found an elaborate Russian cover up of doping in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. Corrupt Russian Anti-Doping officials were found to have, not only, swapped positive urine samples, but also intimidated the laboratory to report false negatives. Quite possibly the worst aspect of the scandal, however, was the fact that Russia got away with it for two years. Some evidence suggests that Russian doping began as far back as the 2012 London Olympic Games. Furthermore, in the United States, the NFL and other major league organizations have shown a reluctance to cooperate with anti-doping agencies (Houlihan, 2002). As stated before, corporate sport cares only about the numbers, not necessarily how they get to those numbers. This absence of cooperation creates a “Wild West” for cheaters. Take Brady’s “Deflategate” or Armstrong’s steroid use, the best will try to get away with it, and sometimes do, given the chance. With the lack of cooperation and current level of corruption, international and corporate sport today have become open to doping and

Although cheating can sometimes serve as a rapid catalyst for temporary success, it is almost never a permanent solution to one’s problems. Famous athletes like Lance Armstrong and Melky Cabrera have gained temporary success by using less-than-honest methods to get ahead; however, these practices came at the cost of their honor, reputation, and respect from fans. These people could have been just as famous by using honest methods to excel, but they chose the easy way out and it eventually took its toll. Success tastes sweeter when it is earned in an honest

Without the money, they haven't a platform to excoriate so ingloriously. In other words, should the NBA go bye-bye, how would the liberal voices of 28% of the population be jammed down the throats of the other 62% of Americans in this country? If you lose the NBA and the NFL as platforms, then all the left will have is Hollywood and the Media and Google and Facebook and Twitter and Broadway. Oh, wait... I forgot they had that many rooftops to shout from. Whoa!! That's mind-boggling to consider how someone could win a Presidential election when faced with that amount of leftist collusion. But I digress. So yeah, of course, money

Were people deceived into putting money into Sportplay? When creating Sportplay, the innovator was trying to save his business. This idea was merely formed to protect what he had worked too establish. In the beginning it was necessary to come up with a new way to fund the Provincial Arts Board (PAB). However, was consideration given to the potential consequences Sportplay could inhibit on consumers?

The lamentable fact is that sometimes cheaters do prosper and no one seems to care. I do. Bending or breaking the rules only creates worthless victories. From sports to taxes, cheating has the new norm in our lives. People who are good at cheating gain prestige and respect for working smarter, not harder, but that is immoral and a fallacy. Cheaters devalue the efforts of those who came before and those who will follow them in any particular field. This willingness to cheat reverberates through most sports. My goal, as an athlete, is to be a paragon of good sportsmanship and not cheat. To win through hard work and effort without cheating is the most important moral principle in my life.

Corruption in sport. The topic as a whole poses many problems to the multi billion dollar industry. Throughout the years the topic of corruption occurring has brought many different views to the table. The sports industry provides a context where corrupt events are exactly documented, and where sanctions are handled by sports controlling entities that allow these acts to occur. Team sports contests wether amateur or pro are prone to several sources of premature corruption, ranging from illegal match-rigging to the use of performance enhancing drugs. Major Sports leagues can emphasize the detrimental effects of these acts as a discouragement for eventual corrupt routines by club representatives who may be vulnerable to the temptation these
