That’s true, but I also think it’s important to note that he was posting about a pedophile who was banned from the MLB for betting against his own team.

Do you have a source that says he bet against his team? I've read that he bet on his own team but always to win https://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/13114874/notebook-obtained-lines-shows-pete-rose-bet-baseball-player-1986 "The documents obtained by Outside the Lines, which reflect betting records from March through July 1986, show no evidence that Rose, who was a player-manager in 1986, bet against his team."
