Once again, you are. For some reason, you're still choosing to ignore the word "harmful" in the definition of conspiracy. Something harmful does NOT need to be unlawful. For those of us that still value literary comprehension, one could argue that the White Sox choosing not to promote an outfielder that was playing extremely well while the major league roster was in dire need of someone that was healthy and could (hopefully) provide a boost offensively was "harmful" to the major league club. Since the non-promotion can be deemed as "harmful" in this case to the prospect of the major league clubs success, it would therefore validate my totally 100% super cereal conspiracy theory claim.
