I consider myself an “average” American. I live in an average town, doing an average job. My background is unique, but it in no way makes me unique. Having said all that (written actually) I find that I don’t really give a darn that Baseball players have been using any type of enhancing drugs.
Is it dangerous for them personally? I suppose so, but what kind of life are they expecting after retirement anyway?
Does it set a bad example for our children? Absolutely! But as a parent myself, it is my RESPONSIBILITY to teach my children appropriate behavior, not the baseball player.
Is it illegal? Most certainly. The gub-ment believes it is in the common wealth’s best interest to outlaw any drug they deem dangerous (subjectively of course).
But to be blunt and honest…I DONT CARE if they took those drugs. It doesn’t matter to me, during a time of war and terrorist attacks worldwide, that a small group of players decided they could market themselves better, if they put on 20 lbs of pure muscle, if they could throw faster and hit further or run faster.
I care that our gub-ment hasn’t secured our borders, I care that we are still paying enormous amounts of money to Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries that hate us. Especially when we could be drilling for our own oil here in the states.
The fact that someone in the United States government signed off to have people investigate grown men who play a child’s game, instead of spending that time and money on security for our children, that is important to me.
On the scale, it doesn’t even register.
