These Recent Examples Show Why We Need More Whistleblowers
While some people have attacked the whistleblower and their motives, I believe we need more whistleblowers today; we should create a safer environment for people to sound the alarm without fear of retribution. This is the case in all facets of life, not just politics.
Recently, the Houston Astros were found to have used illicit technology to steal pitching signs from opposing teams. The Astros broke Major League Baseball (MLB) rules by signaling to their batters which type of pitches were about to be thrown, a system they used during their 2017 World Series victory.
The ensuing MLB investigation led to the firing of three MLB coaches and the suspension of multiple members of the Houston organization for the upcoming season. However, no players have been punished. Any player who participated knew they were cheating but not one was willing to speak up or blow the whistle.
