Congressman Bobby Rush Calls for Congressional Oversight on MLB
Cheating Scandal
In a statement issued Friday, Illinois Congressman Bobby L. Rush called
for a hearing to be held by the Subcommittees on Oversight & Investigations
and Consumer Protection & Commerce regarding the sign-stealing scandal in
Major League Baseball:
国会议员Bobby L. Rush在周五发表声明,呼吁监督与调查和消费者保护与商业委员会
就MLB 的偷暗号事件举行听证会:
As a result of MLB's investigation into the Houston Astros illegally stealing
signs during the 2017 season en route to winning their first World Series
title, both general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch were suspended
for one year.
因为MLB 对太空人队在2017年赛季违法偷取暗号并赢得首座世界大赛的调查,总经理
Jeff Luhnow和总教练A.J. Hinch被禁赛一年。
The Astros fired both Luhnow and Hinch this week. Further, former Astros bench
coach Alex Cora left his post as manager of the Boston Red Sox and former
Astros player Carlos Beltran agreed to part ways with the New York Mets after
being hired as their manager in November.
太空人本周解雇了二人,此外,前太空人板凳教练Alex Cora当了红袜总教练和前太空
人球员Carlos Beltran在11月被聘请为大都会总教练。(Cora已被解雇,Beltran辞职)
The Red Sox are under investigation for reportedly using their replay room to
steal signs during the 2018 season. The Red Sox won the World Series later
that year.
据报导,红袜队正在接受调查,原因是在2018赛季使用重播室窃取暗号。红袜队在当年
赢得了世界大赛冠军。
As part of his statement, Rush wrote, "It is clear that Major League Baseball
is firmly in the midst of 'an ethical crisis.' Cheating in any sport is
anathema, especially in professional sports. Many children, and adults for
that matter, look up to professional athletes as a testament to the American
dream and what is possible through hard work and determination. This latest
fiasco is nothing short of a gut punch to those ideals."
声明中的一部分,Rush写道:“很明显,MLB 正处于“道德危机”之中。在任何运动中
作弊都是令人厌恶的事情,尤其是在职业运动中,许多孩子和成年人崇拜职业运动员,
视他们为美国梦以及通过努力和决心可以实现的梦想。这对那些梦想犹如一记重击。”
Congress has gotten involved with sports many times over the years, but
perhaps the most famous case occurred during the 2000s when MLB players were
called to testify in front of Congress about steroid use.
多年来,国会已经多次参与体育运动,但最著名的案例也许发生在2000年,当时MLB 的
球员被要求在国会面前为类固醇的使用作证。
The sign-stealing disgrace is undoubtedly already the biggest scandal in
baseball since then, and it is wide-ranging enough that government
intervention may be inevitable due to the impact it has had on the fairness
of the sport.
窃取暗号的耻辱无疑是棒球界自那时以来最大的丑闻,而且范围之广,以及它对这项运
动的公平性的影响,政府干预是不可避免的。
If a congressional oversight hearing does occur, it is possible that Luhnow,
Hinch, Cora, Beltran and several other current and former Astros and Red Sox
will be brought in to testify.
如果国会确实举行了听证会,Luhnow、Hinch、Cora、Beltran以及其他几名现任和前任
的Astros和Red Sox人士可能会出庭作证。
心得:
因为球员涉案人数众多,调查不易,所以决定不罚球员,好吧,那就由国会来调查吧
暗号事件对比赛公平性的破坏还超过禁药,国会召开听证会也合理。
希望听证会会真的召开,别说粽子有多大串,调查下去会波及多少队伍,就算真的会
毁灭MLB 那也行,以前看棒球是当体育赛事,如果调查发现全部都是假的,那同样都
是假的,看场电影比看假球赛好多了。
