2nd strongest arguement

My second strongest argument is that people in other sports that are in the hall of fame. or even recognized for something else, have committed something similar or worse then gambling, and that did not effect them. Pete Rose couldn't have put it any better, he said that people have family problems, beat their wives, deal with alcohol abuse, murder, crime, etc. Now they are recognized as great ahtletes, and people know of their problems, but they all had happened mostly a while after their career. If Pete Rose hadn't gambled during his career, this situation would be nothing like it is now. People really have to wake up and realize all the other things going on in the world around us, and a man gambling on a sport shoudn't hold him back from the hall, especially because of how great of an athlete he was.
