OK. I realize I am not the greatest sports fan out there. I go to events but I do not follow the teams and leagues etc.
But can anyone explain to me why ex Senator George Mitchell spends 23 months investigating steroid use in professional baseball. Even more, why would the Congress of the most powerful nation on earth fighting wars in two countries and battling terrorism worldwide, securing social security, healthcare and our borders- would be wasting their time and our money investigating baseball.
IT IS F******G BASEBALL!
If the professional baseball leagues want to abolish steroid use in baseball it is very simple.
1. Pass a rule forbidding steroid use in baseball.
2. Frequently test the players on a random basis.
3. If a player fails the test – FIRE HIM- first offense. Ban him from the sport for life.
4. If rule number 3 is unclear, see rule number 1.
Any other rules and the sport is not serious about banning steroids. This is how it is done effectively in any other workplace.
