“What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.”

The federal government indicted professional baseball player Barry bonds for perjury and obstruction of justice for lying about taking performance enhancing drugs. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=3113075
Bonds formally of the San Francisco Giants had recently come to notoriety by breaking the all time home run record previously owned by a car dealer one Henry “Hank” Aaron. Aaron established his record by breaking the one set by a candy maker named Babe Ruth.
The issue I take with this is that by taking steroids Bonds is really only hurting himself; testicular cancer and the like if you believe all the data floating around
out there.
I say legalize steroids and whatever else is out there that is frowned upon.
At least we’d be turning the users against each other.
I for one would love to see grossly over developed behemoths with ungodly amounts of vascularity trying to crush a little ball with a bat and then go after one another.
This would bring a level of entertainment to a sport that is boring and excruciating to watch.
Now I know what your saying “but VampireKlown What about the children?
Won’t someone please think of the CHILDREN?!”
Look if you know a kid that can score some steroids then that’s that kid’s parent’s problem. If you feel it’s your duty to do something then whip out your trusty cell phone photograph him doing the roids and rat him out to the police (see “Big Brother is watching …look busy”)
The problem isn’t an individual (Bonds) pumping himself full of steroids. If he were doing coke ala Darryl Strawberry no one would care. The problem is you thinking that Barry Bonds was put on this planet to be a role model. He wasn’t.
Stop deifying athletes, actors and musicians. They’re just friggin people.
Bonds started his career 1986. He hit 762 homeruns over a 21 year period.
That comes out to 36.29 homers a year is that so unbelievable.
So he takes enhancers let’s not make a federal case about it.
In the cult of personality we can pick and choose who to worship. Pick some schlep who eats his Wheaties and averages 15 to 20 homers a year and move on with your LIFE!
