Mitchell report

So my question is this: Who cares?

Apparently a lot of people do. It's like all of those idiots who read people magazine to find out which celebrities eat too many cheeseburgers.

This report exists only to smear the names of players for shock value. We all know that lots of people were using steroids in baseball. None of them were breaking the rules. This takes the focus away from MLB and the players union who are responsible for the rampant use of performance enhancers. The league should have banned the substances, and the union should have let them enforce their rules.

Now, players lying to grand juries and to congressman under oath are separate issues that have nothing to do with baseball. McGwire, Bonds, Clemens and everyone else should be allowed to keep their records without asterisks, and should be allowed the opportunity to get into the hall of fame.

Baseball has already made changes to their rules and are enforcing them, so what else do you expect to happen from this? No legal ramifications will happen, you can't punish players for breaking rules that didn't exist at the time, and anything that can be done to fix the game has already been suggested and changes have been implemented.



So we've learned some names and some rumors, great. Maybe we can find out who's having plastic surgery and dating Lindsay Lohan.
