CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Elaborate; - Being a prick doesn't ruin sports. It's not like anyone else ever, say, charged waaaay to much for an autograph, or was curt to a member of the mdeia. - For better or for worse, baseball's got a tonne of print and airtime this year, and look at the attendance over the last 6 months or so. Is this meant to be the steroids thing again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Remember when Barry Bonds killed professional sports? Discuss. I don't. I've gone to over 40 games this year at five levels, and at no point did I think to myself, "god, this game would be so much better if Barry Bonds never existed." If you're going the steroids route, steroids existed long before Bonds and will continue long after he retires. Why do we have steroids? Because of the pressure and rewards to win sports. And why does that exist? Because sports are professional and not amateur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
