The crisis I am going to cover is an event that happened over one hundred years ago known as the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. This was an event where the Chicago White Sox had eight members of the team accused of purposely losing the world series game against the Cincinnati Reds in a gambling scheme. These players were Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver, Claude “Lefty” Williams, “Happy” Felsch and Fred McMullen. The White Sox eventually called off the plot to lose the World Series due to not getting paid their bribe, which was 20,000$ per game. Even after calling it off, they still ended up losing the series. After this happened, the story blew up in the newspapers causing some of the players to testify and admit that it happened due to needing the money. Although, those who paid the players to throw the game plotted to take all of the papers to hide the incident in itself and so that word would not spread around. After the trial, even though they were found not to be guilty, baseball’s first commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis responded by banning each of the eight players from being able to play Major League Baseball and were denied any form of entry into the baseball hall of fame. The banning of these players helped regulate the damage control, but it also seemed as if it pushed the event aside acting as if it did not happen. Due to this scandal happening before social media was around, it was hard for word to spread because people would only hear about it from word of mouth or if they were able to get a newspaper. Without technology it is also harder to prove if what they did was true. The person who was accused of putting the gambling scheme together was named Arnold Rothstein. He was never officially charged with setting anything up, but there was much speculation due to the rumors of his betting fortunes through Major League Baseball.
