Now's Here A Real Penalty for cheating in sports..$100 million $$$

F-1.....Formula 1 Racing just leveled a $100 million fine on McLaren today for cheating
What did they do?
they were caught with a book of info belonging to rival team ferrari

They also lost ALL their points they accumulated this year
oh yes, they just happened to be the #1 team to date this yr

also they could have they both their racers suspended for this yr & next yr as well
their were lucky

Now this is what I call a Penalty

Not the krap Nascar doles out or what the NFL will give bellicheck, which will be a slap on the wrist at best

Penalties shud HURT & hurt big-time to send a tuff message to all

Don't cheat

Comments

  • Increasing the likelihood of punishment sends a far "tuffer" message than increasing the severity

  • Smartest thing Ron Dennis could do is park both McLaren-Mercedes for the last 4 races of the season, let Mercedes buy him out, let Alonso flounder and Ferrari and it's drivers drown in a sea of asterisks. image

    Not a sport, much like golf isn't a sport.

  • F-1 isn't nascar, they don't drive in circles, they run 100% road courses, of course if u ever watched even 1 F-1 race u would have known that

    Also this is NOT a racing topic, I was using the F-1 story to relate to severe penalties in sport, I didn't realize my comments were so hard to understand, maybe your A Nascar fan? Is that the problem?

    Oh yes, F-1 & soccer are the 2 most watched sports in the world By FAR, 2 sports ignored by most in the U.S.

    There is a world beyond out there beyond the U.S. borders, maybe check it out someday, it's quite fascinating

    Hi guys!

    NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has ordered the New England Patriots to turn over all videotape, files and notes relating to all their activity that resulted in the disciplinary action of coach Bill Belichick and the franchise, according to sources familiar with the details of Goodell's private communication with the team.

    If the Patriots are not compliant, the commissioner is prepared to impose even greater sanctions, the sources said.

    Goodell alluded to the league's position when he made his decision public to discipline the Patriots when he stated that the NFL would "review" and "monitor" the team's videotaping procedures, effective immediately. Privately, the commissioner was more specific in his demands and expectations with Patriots owner Robert Kraft when the two men spoke Thursday, sources said.

    The action is being taken because Belichick all but conceded to the commissioner that his interpretation of the rules allowed him to use videotape of opposing team hand signals for future games but not on game day, sources said. The commissioner rejected that interpretation and was aware that there had been other incidents involving the Patriots in recent years.

    If Goodell discovers that Belichick and the team has copied the files without disclosure to the NFL, the consequences will be significant, sources said.
