Get the CHER SCAPEGOAT mug.If every team that cheated got caught, and karma really did exist, nobody would watch baseball on TV anymore, which would make the TV ratings an all time low. Baseball needed a scapegoat team, and they got one with the Houston Astros.
Baseball would be more unpopular than the Houston Astros if every team that cheated could be punished. The true bad guys needed a scapegoat team to make a bad guy out of, and that's what the Houston Astros had become, because they were dumb and not because they betrayed anybody or owe anybody anything (like an apology). They weren't corrupt enough for a corrupt league, and people didnt like that, they were only half-crooked.

Get the Scapegoat mug.A project at a company fails due to poor management decisions, unrealistic timelines, and insufficient resources. Instead of the management taking responsibility for these systemic issues, they blame the project's lead developer for the poor code quality and missed deadlines, effectively using them as a scapegoat to avoid scrutiny of their own planning.
