Hi. You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "Eight whight sox are indicted; Cicotte and Jackson confess Gambless paid them $ 15,000."
Answer:
This image reinforces the team's destruction in the face of an accusation of corruption.
Step-by-step explanation:
The article talks about an investigation process into an episode of corruption within Champion Chigaco White Sox. This episode involved eight baseball stars and team owner Charles Comiskey.
The investigation and all the repercussions of the case spoiled the credibility of the team, which caused its decay, which is a pity since it was a big and imposing team.
Charles Comiskey's image, “seated in the midst of his crumbling empire out at White Sox Park” reinforces the team's theme of destruction and decay, which was once a true champion, but which is tainted and corrupted.
