What do you expect them to do? Everyone should stop being an Astros fan because of sign stealing? Damn, then why White Sox still have fans after their team threw the World Series all those decades ago? :p  One thing I learned about Americans is that they never sit quiet and do what other people tell them to do. Quite frankly I expect Astros fans to play the "me vs the world" card for the next 10 years now.

Can’t disagree with any that. American sports are stupid. Thank the gender neutral spirits (by far my favorite SNL joke in years) for international sports.

The MLB is an embarrassment to the sport. Mandated defending not punishing the Astros in any form for cheating, while saying harsh penalties will come the way of players and teams that voice their opinion. Fuck that. I sincerely hope the Astros are booed for the entire season, and that betters have a right few weeks in the box.

I’m not a baseball fan, and won’t pretend to be one. I’m just not okay with these Astros fans played the victim card. They’re not victims. Your team cheated, and failed horribly at their attempt to apologize. 

 

Astros fans need to shut up right now.  Their organization handled this horribly, so there's nothing they can say or do at this point that smooths over the fact the only championship in franchise history is tainted.  At this point, the whole organization needs to go full heel (as if they haven't come close already) and just embrace the hate.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are witnessing a master class in bad PR/Communications. I just can’t with the MLB/Astros right now.

If Astros trophy won't be vacated (not given to Dodgers) then it's a real shame

I bet Astros pitchers will be head-hunting in revenge as well? :evil:

Yep, unwritten baseball code of ethics...

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
