Cheat and repeat. Is it me, or do Americans have a cheating problem? Not just in sports, but college admissions, chess, the stock market, everywhere. Not to mention our elections, which goes without saying.
If you can’t beat the cheaters, consider joining them. To be fair and balanced, not cheating does have the advantage of having people put trust in you. That makes it easier to cheat them in the future. The truth is cheating is a lot easier than having to work hard to get something.
For the few honest people left who are considering cheating as a lifestyle change, I suggest you begin slowly. Start by cheating the poor, uneducated woman and children first. That’s like taking candy from a baby. There’s a sucker born every minute, never give one an even break.
Once you see the true rewards of cheating start to pile up, all feelings of guilt will just disappear. Cheating has been part of our culture from before the beginning. The Puritans cheated Native Americans out of their land and its never stopped.
Here in Massachusetts, we’ve got a proud history of sports cheating. Rosie Ruiz, Tom Brady and now Alex Cora. In his defense, Alex did “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG!” (all baseball caps) The 2018 Red Sox were perfect. It’s a witch hunt and a hoax and another which hunt. The point is that the Sox won way more games then Hillary Clinton. The fact that the Sox suddenly sucked in 2019 is proof that they weren’t cheating the year before.
So what if they cheated, cheating is not illegal. They call it “cheating,” I call it “doing anything to win.” You know who the real cheaters are? Get Ukraine to start an investigation against the Yankees. The truth is, everybody cheats, so why shouldn’t we?
But I digress. I admit that what I hate most is when their side cheats better then us. But what makes our country great is that anyone, no matter how inept, can cheat their way right to the top. If you’re a good enough cheater, anyone in America can grow up to become a real estate mogul or even president.
