Re: Arod is worse than bonds
Besides the fact that these guys are potentially hurting their bodies long term, they are no different to me than most baseball players for the last 100 yrs. Cheating has been a part of baseball since the beginning. Everything from spitballs,vasoline,scuffing the ball,corking bats,stealing signs,that stupid fukin thing Bonds wears on his right arm at the plate,etc. If it weren't for the fact that this could encourage kids to take steroids, I would have no problem at all with it. I'm not condoning the actions but I don't think it's as big a deal as most do. The biggest problem I have with all the accused is that not one of them to this date has just man-uped and told the whole truth. By that I don't mean throwing others under the bus. I mean just telling the whole truth about their actions and the whole truth as to why they took them( I wanted to get better) and why they quit taking them (major league baseball started taking steroid use more seriously would be the answer I'm looking for there). It would be interesting to see how we would have handles these vices if we were to walk in their shoes for a while ( I know from the outside what we think we would do but how do we really know when we have never actually walked in their shoes). Now, let the bashing begin.:+textinb3
