ASTRO FANS "HATE US" SHIRTS ARE A BAD LOOK FOR BASEBALL

It's bad enough that the ASSTROS are okay with cheating, but apparently so are their fans. It's disgusting, it's just going from bad to worse over in Houston and Rob Manfred just doesn't care. This is a PR nightmare.

Not all ASSTRO fans are bad, but anyone who wants to wear these shirts should be embarrassed. This cheating scandal is not something to celebrate, but ASSTRO fans want to embrace it. How sick is that? Hey ASSTRO fans....your team cheated! I will use Dusty Baker's new favorite word...the ASSTROS PREMEDITATED to cheat and disgraced the integrity of the game. That's not a good look, and neither are these shirts.

Who would want to support that? It's bad enough that the ASSTROS chose to be cheaters. Their legacy and stats are forever tainted. They CHOSE that legacy. They chose to be remembered as the team who had a ton of natural talent, but decided they needed to cheat just to win. Don't you want to EARN the title of a champion? Why embrace cheating and then use this shirt as a proud "call to action" for this season? No fan base should embrace this.

This was already embarrassing enough for the team, but now the fans have just made the whole situation even worse. The Astros pulled off one of the worst cheating scandals in sports history, and some fans want to celebrate the cheating? This is the last thing baseball fans should celebrate.

That shirt is a reminder that Aaron Judge was robbed of an MVP award and that Cody Bellinger and the Dodgers did not have a fair shot at a World Series ring. It's the reason why MIKE TROUT TORCHED THE ASTROS. There are a lot of any players right now, and they have every right to feel the way that they do. The players involved in this have lost the respect of their peers and that is never cool. Integrity has been lost. These should never be things that we celebrate.

Baseball's credibility has taken a serious hit right now and Manfred's lack of action only makes things worse. This isn't a good look for baseball right now....and these shirts aren't a good look for ASSTROS fans either.

Stay classy, ASSTRO fans.
