One might think the police had better things to do with their time

The hotel hired off-duty police officers to provide security for the meetings The billionaire owner of the Houston Astros - the team that in the past few months:
A rich, old, white. male trying to avoid answering questions of wrongdoing isn't exactly a rarity recently, but police acting as security and intervening on behalf of an owner at the owners meeting is rare - as in probably never happened before. Also today it came out that commissioner Robert Manfred said that the MLB wouldn't "pay [the players] in economics to get labor peace" referring to negotiations regarding the next CBA. There are also some reports that reporters are not being let into the meetings unless they have a room at the hotel. This is much less widely reported than what I mentioned above. |

I won't for a second try to defend the Astros or Crane for cheating, but I'll just point out that neither rich, nor old, or whites, nor males have exclusivity on improper behavior, nor trying to avoid responsibility or accountability for it. I don't see what any of those categories has to do with the Astros' cheating or their feeble-to-date response to what has come to light.

Perhaps a couple of individual owners received threats. That's my guess although it's only a guess.
