I never said you shouldn't be allowed to do so, nor do I think you shouldn't be allowed to do so.

It's just that the uproar over Barry Bonds is amazing considering sports are just a big pro-wrestling distraction to pacify the masses.

It’s just a part of life. Aren’t we allowed to have any diversions in our miserable existence? Can’t you allow us to be pacified for a few minutes? Must it be all politics 24/7? Remember that old adage, All work and no play makes Mysterio a dull boy.

Part of it is there are people who love the GAME. And what we’ve seen through the years is the game being destroyed by certain players like Bonds, owners & “he whose name must not be spoken”. I’m not sure if baseball can ever get back to what it once was. But the Bonds situation is not taking it in the right direction. If baseball is just a stick & a ball to you it won’t make sense. At one time it really was the best game there ever was.

I’m not saying cheating is anything new. But back in the day there was a price to pay for it. Now it’s out in the open. Not only accepted but expected.
