Alex Rodriguez - Illegal Poker Investigation

[Cam Cam]

Yankees star Alex Rodriguez will be interviewed by Major League Baseball as part of its investigation of his involvement in illegal poker games.

Rodriguez also faced questions about his gambling habits in 2005, when the Daily News reported he attended games at an underground poker club in New York. The slugging third baseman later acknowledged “it wasn’t the right thing to do,” and checked with MLB before holding a charity poker tournament the following year.

Now baseball wants to talk to him again.

“We take this very seriously and have been investigating this matter since the initial allegation,” MLB said Wednesday in a statement. “As part of the investigation, the commissioner’s office will interview Mr. Rodriguez.”

This doesn't really bother me. I don't find many issues with gambling. What does it do to hurt the game?

Does dogfighting have anything to do with the NFL?

Players can't do illegal things...the leagues investigate so they can't let criminals play in their league. Gives them a bad rep.

Dog Fighting I get...that's inhumane. But gambling? As long as it isn't on the game itself let it go.

Illegal gambling.....key word ILLEGAL.

Dog fighting isn't any different from gambling in the sense that they're both illegal...

In that sense yes, but which kills the league more? I think when you get animal rights groups involved its worse...
