6-1 Milestone Three: Compose the Organization’s Response

The sports organizations have to be aligned with the cultural norms and values. They have to face the community and act as a role model for the public. After the gambling act, the situation was bad for the organization. It responded to the societal pressure positively and took several measures to overcome the issues. Society and the baseball fans were over the rage on the incident and demanded the organization take action. The rules and regulations were changed for the players because the organization earned huge fame and the single incident was a dark spot on the organisation's name (History, 2022).

The management team was changed and was asked to keep the monitoring procedures high of the team. Undoubtedly, the organization was already working hard, but the players were warned of the incident. It was asked that the situation deteriorate further if the players were not checked strictly. The players will also be given certain training on how the thefts like gambling can be avoided. The acts like gambling cannot be compromised, and it is better to act against them. The team further made certain measures to meet the expectations of people.

Response

(Swinton, 2020) published a new where the MLB responded against Pete Rose. The organization has earned a famous reputation since 1986. It was a massive jerk to the organization that the players were involved in such incidents. The news by Swinton and many other news agencies show that the organization has responded effectively against the scandal. The investigation against the incident was started and was on a high level. It was ensured that players like Rose had no place in the organization. The monitoring and investigation were done against the other players to ensure they were not involved in such a scandal. The management became strict of a sudden to protect the reputation. The investigation permanently banned Rose because the organization did not support immoral acts. He was not allowed to play throughout his life. The effectiveness of the response can be evident from the fact that the organization upgraded all the rules and regulations of the team. The situation changed after an incident because the organization knew the craze of fans for the game. The fans' craze and passion also demand morals and ethics (Normandin, 2018).

Laws and Policies

The organization took action against Rose according to Rule 21 of the NBA. According to sub-section six, no player is allowed to bet or gamble in the game. The players can bet on other sports, but betting on the same sports can never be considered normal. If any player is found doing such illegal acts, he will be investigated and punished accordingly. The players should ensure that they refrain from all immoral actions. It is essential to align with the rules of the basketball federation (NBA, 2022).

Recommendations

All sports or other organizations should strengthen the internal and external systems to avoid such systems. It is recommended that the monitoring of players should never be relaxed because gambling and other acts can occur at any time. The players should be trained to support the organization as loyal and sincere entities. The organization needs to keep a check on the players at regular intervals. These recommendations are better for the future and may warn the players against such acts. The organization can also save its reputation and fame in the years ahead.
