Holy mother of god, rambo...when will your incessant whining ever stop? "Tipping the scales", my ass...
What the what...?
Oh...and as far as your blurb on Ty Cobb: in case you didn't know (and you evidently do not) this is a classic misconception that's been handed down thru the years....
Cobb set over 90 MLB records during his playing days....many of these records stood for over a half-century, long after his playing days (some still reign even today).
Inducted into the inaugural class (1936) of the Baseball HOF with an overwhelming percentage of votes, Cobb was later named onto baseball's All-Century Team (1999). I could go on (but) that'd steal an opportunity from you to get off your butt, do a little research and learn something about the player and the man.
Brief glimpse.... what you would learn though (much to your chagrin) is that many of the reported
rumors of Cobb's bigotry / racism were exactly that. Years after Jackie Robinson crossed the color line, Cobb publicly supported (both) blacks and whites playing baseball together. Later on, Cobb also stated that "Willie Mays was the only player he'd pay money to see <play>".
Many reputable baseball historians have come out over the years defending Cobb against these unfair portrayals (acts of racism, etc) debunking them as myths and crude urban lore.
Fast forward: to question Cobb's election (into the HOF today) is totally preposterous in my opinion. Voted a few years ago as the (all-time) 3rd best player EVER (out of the Top 100 Players) in baseball....you'd get laughed at (just like everyone is over your silly, never-ending whine fest over providers and their chosen NBA policy).
Maybe, but with asterisks. Being NBA should be a disquallifier. I would equate it to using PED's, tipping the scales unfavorably to create a competitive advantage. Ladies who aren't NBA keep the playing field level, and yes, likely do sacrifice some business, but sees the bigger picture and run their business without discrimination.
You think Ty Cobb would make the HoF now if they had to revote him in??
