Major League Baseball argued attempts to circumvent the rules. are an inherent aspect of sports in a lawsuit filed by five men who took part in fantasy baseball contests.
Ronald Blum of the Associated Press provided a statement from MLB's representatives in the suit:
"Rules violations — large and small, intentional and unintentional, technical and game-changing — are a never-ending source of sports television, talk radio, web and elevator commentary by sports pundits and fans alike. And fans' general awareness of the potential for infractions is underscored in this case by the fact that clubs were publicly disciplined for electronic sign-stealing violations during the 2017 regular season.
