I guess this is the only time I could speak about poker when it comes to sports. Alex Rodriguez, the All Star 3B who has notably been through controversy in the past, could now possibly face suspension. MLB is now looking into allegations that A-Rod has been involved in some illegal poker games. Apparently, A-Rod has been told in the past to not participate in these games but he may have ignored these warnings. It is possible he could be suspended for this.
Involved in steroids and now underground poker? Does A-Rod want to push his Hall of Fame chances or eligibility? What might be more serious than Steroids in baseball is Gambling and baseball. It almost destroyed the game once and you can't blame the front office for wanting to make sure no questionable figures start ruining it again. As for the actual severity, I would say no big deal if this was a first offense but A-Rod has apparently done this before. If he indeed participated in illegal poker recently, he deserves suspension. A strong stance against illegal gambling needs to be taken.
