We need to stop encouraging kids to be deceitful. What happened last night was a guy got ahead by using deceit. You can't be surprised that our society can't fix that. Not when we're encouraging Jeter's little exhibit last night.

It isn't different. He broke no rule. Baseball isn't self regulated like golf. If the umpires miss a call then you are under no obligation to bail them out. As for the social implication, I thought no one under 40 watched baseball anymore? And the rest of the world watches Soccer which is not only mind numbingly dull but where faking is an art form.

He acted like he got hit smack dead on the hand. It's not like he just let the umpires do their job, and they blew it. He cried out in pain like a lil bitch. This amount of subterfuge should be looked down upon. None of your other baseball examples have this important factor involved. Why would you bring soccer into this. You don't like it.
