  8. Baseball Steroid Thread

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Really, if Congress wanted to seriously investigate performance enhancing drugs (PED) within the context of the antitrust agreement, they should go after MLB management (Commissioner, club GMs, owners) and the Players Union.

    I'm certain that, from the mid/late '80s on, the sport was riddled with PED use, management from the Commissioner's Office on down turned a blind eye to it, and the Players Union fostered a fertile environment for drug taking. I don't particularly blame individual players; with so much money at stake, what do you expect? "Don't hate the player, hate the game..."

    Yes,

    They are all

    Accommplices and co-conspirators for profit

    Congressional oversight just gives the appearance of a credible investigation

    and masks the collusion thus protecting the "Money Mad Pirates" (not just the Pittsburg Pirates)

    I doubt the owners turned a blind eye when the game was bleeding potential profits to Football and Basketball who were raking it in.

    Yes they knew and encouraged what was going on.

    They will sacrifice players and even the "era" in order to save the machine

    Shouldn't all the records in the PED era have an asterisk including WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS???

    Shouldn't all the records in the Racist era have an asterisk including WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS???

    Shouldn't all sports have an asterisk.

    Shouldn't we teach the kids all sports are FOR PROFIT AND DIVERSION FROM REALITY

    But if you can make a buck at it, it must be OK :huh:

    LaGrande is beautiful country (alway been partial to the Grande Ronde Valley).

    Change is always difficult but don't let it get the best of you.

    I always try to think of it as opportunity. I also know how hard it can be to convince yourself.

    I will be looking at several large changes myself this coming year and can't seem

    to shake the sense of impending loss, but I know it must be done and thus a good thing.

    Best wishes and looking forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely

    Gene

    I don't recall seeing this posted yet, but Atavistic is reissuing Some Blues But Not The Kind That's Blue and lists it as available in January. It is already available for order, so I'm assuming they'll ship early, as they did for Purple Moon.
