Letter: Is it OK to cheat to win, as long as it’s your team?

In remembrance of the Michael Jordan push-off of Bryon Russell in the 1998 NBA finals, I wonder how many Utahns still get miffed at that, or any other superstar privilege, given to a select few?

I also ask, “Is it OK if your team cheats to win?”

Being just sporting events, the impact is superficial and short-lived.

In politics, our health, lifestyles and financial situations, all are affected by who we vote for. Why are politicians who align with the NRA, and with symbolic items like freedom and the flag, called “patriots,” while they are cheating, breaking laws and openly violating the Constitution for personal gain?

Will these same actions become standard practice for all parties in the future, or only for Republicans?

Bill Clinton lied about a sex act. Lyin’ Hillary was beaten by a guy who probably has lied every day since he discovered lying can be advantageous. Somehow, Christians and evangelicals accept this.

Mexico was going to pay for a wall, we’d have great health care, we would eliminate Obamacare and the deficit and “ban foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.”

All lies.

Now, we simply ask foreign adversaries to meddle, right on live TV.

Moral values my ass!
