St. Louis Cardinals hacking allegations raise ethical, encryption concerns, Stanford law expert says
Stanford law lecturer Joe "Chip" Pitts says allegation
of hacking by the St. Louis Cardinals is yet another morality tale of
the rewards – and risks – of data analytics in the new context of
professional sports.
This week it was disclosed that the Cardinals, one of the most
successful teams in Major League Baseball, are the subject of a federal
investigation for allegedly stealing information from the Houston
Astros.

I think that this topic is pretty sensitive, especially for a Major League Baseball team. This type of action can reduce the amount of respect that people had for the team. This has to be extremely embarrassing for the Cardinals. Could they really use whatever information was stolen from the Astros with confidence? I'm sure they wouldn't feel good about it, so why did they complete such an action in the first place? Things like this are for personal gain and are very selfish actions. Integrity is sometimes forgotten and can lead to a disastrous ending. Being a well-known baseball team, this must have taken its toll on the team and I believe it would be difficult to recover from such a dishonest type of mistake. People, no matter their position, should take honesty and integrity seriously for themselves and others.
