The way I see it, fans will always hate a cheater but secretly be ok with someone being cutthroat about winning. Because when you try to win, you still have to beat the other team.
Throwing games is despicable shit. Unlike cheating, it isn't hard to guarantee a loss. Even lowlifes like shoeless Joe Jackson can find ways to hide it in plain sight. And worst of all, any player that would accept a loss is a disgrace to himself, to the fans who expect to see a game and not a predetermined screenplay, and to the city fronting a gajillion dollars to let them play. It is an unforgivable cardinal sin.
