Not feeling too well today, stupid cold and realized I haven’t posted in awhile. I really want to post on the Obama inauguration but we are three weeks past that and in the midst of his presidency. Anything I want to talk about is sorta unfolding as we speak and the President at his press conference basically said what needed to be said.
So, instead I want to talk about the A-Rod scandal in baseball. I’ll come right out with it, I am a Red Sox fan, a huuuuuuge Red Sox fan and hate the Yankees with a passion. I usually take any chance I can get to deride them. However, in this case, I don’t care. Why? Because I would be denying what has been going on in baseball for at least a decade. Steroids were a part of the game, we need to accept that and I, as a fan, have to accept the fact that in all likelihood Red Sox players were taking steroids. And I am not the only person who has noticed this denial from Red Sox fans. Plus, lets be honest, SI violated A-Rods privacy rights in finding this document and making it public, despite the fact the record is sealed.
Do I wish baseball was more pure? Absolutely, but I have to accept the fact that there were players using enhancers. I also have to accept the fact that players I grew up watching were using them. Any “fan” who feigns outrage over A-Rod is just looking for a reason to hate A-Rod when there are better reasons to hate him and NOT be a hypocrite.
