Once corrupt always corrupt.

Interesting thought. So, I guess you feel that if you go to work for NYRA you automatically become corrupt? I know the answer, you have given it, which I find interesting. By the same token, if the Knicks say have an incompetent coach, and fire him, the next person will also be incompetent, as it is the position that performs at a certain level, according to you, and not the person inhabiting it.

You really are clueless. Thanks for the uplifting thoughts. Listening to you would make anyone feel better about themself.

as far as the Knicks coach analogy... yeah, at some point the answer is yes. you keep hiring failures, guess what, you are a failure yourself. In the real business world, you're out.

I used the Knicks as a joke, as it could have been any head coaching position in sports, as the point is individuals are corrupt or incompetent and it is not the position they hold as that is just a title. In the case of " NYRA ", it is the name of the organization, and while there has certainly been incompetence in the past, there is not currently and the individuals holding positions there should be judged on their merits and not those of previous job holders. None of the current NYRA management were involved in the indictments of the past.
