Los Angeles Dodgers House Divided Milwaukee Brewers Skull Doormat
Finally, after 14 years, Pete Rose has admitted he deserved the honor we gave him last year when we first unveiled this list: he topped the biggest lies in sports history, for fibbing to friends, fans, and foes about betting on baseball.
That's a long time to raft the river of denial, which is why he's still No. 1, at least in our book -- uh, no pun intended.
1. Pete Rose: "I never bet on baseball"If you think that the revelation that Rose bet on baseball and Reds games is news, you're mistaken. The Dowd Report laid out the overwhelming evidence against him in May, 1989.
2. Steinbrenner: "I'll stick to building ships"George made his millions in shipbuilding, and when his company bought the Yankees, he said it would be a hands-off experience. "We plan absentee ownership as far as running the Yankees is concerned. We're not going to pretend we're something we aren't. I'll stick to building ships."
3. Avery Brundage: Nazis don't discriminate, embody "spirit of Olympics"Brundage, the president of the American Olympic Committee, opposed a boycott of the 1936 "Nazi Olympics," asserting, against all evidence, that the Nazis would treat Jews fairly in trying to qualify for the German Olympic team.
Brundage shamelessly said, "I have not heard of anything to indicate discrimination of any race or religion" in Germany. He warned that "certain Jews must now understand that they cannot use these Games as a weapon in their boycott against the Nazis," alleged a conspiracy of Communists and Jews to organize a boycott and, even after the Games, said the Nazi showcase had contributed to "international peace and harmony."
In the meantime, the Nazis were already building (and filling) concentration camps, prohibiting Jews from competing in sports (two token Jews were named to the Olympic team), planning to use the 1936 Games as an elaborate display of Aryan superiority, and plotting their takeover of Europe.
