Re: Kudos to Pres. Bush for calling out MLB and it\'s steroid policy...
Guys,
I didn't mean for this to become a political issue. In fact, I'm not even a proponent of Bush. But I didn't think it was out of line for him to bring up a health issue that's affecting the younger generation because many of their sports hero's are taking steroids. Not to mention there are those of us concerned for the integrity of the game. Afterall, this is the grand ol' game. To institute a punishment where you get four free passes to use muscle enhancers is beyond ludicrous. By letting the big wigs of the MLB Players Association know that their governing principles are piss poor, it's sending a message that they're being watched. Personally, I'm not as big of a Baseball fan as I used to be because of the illegal substances that are being used. While the majority of the players are clean, you still question those players. It's just bad for the game all the way around.
