I'm not a big sports fan, especially when it comes to football. It bugs me to see professionals in a sport trying to cheat all the way down the field with no consequences. Even when caught it's usually after the fact and the sport just says "oh well, it's too late now".
That's one of the reasons I love Formula 1 racing. There are players and teams who try to cheat on occasion, but when they are caught there are consequences and they affect their season even after the fact. It keeps most of the players honest to know they could pay for their actions down the road.
This week was a good example of that when the fourth place finisher was disqualified after the race for providing false information about an illegal pass by an opponent that moved him to into 3rd place.
It would be nice to see other sports take honesty and integrity more seriously.
