Since Baseball is entertainment and the show is put on by paid performers, why do we really care if they juice up?
because a lot on impressionable young folks may think they can be like their favorites if they juice up as well.
I can post stories about young players who are dead today due to 'enhancement' drugs because they wanted to be like guys like Barry, Rafael, and McGwire.
I agree , it's only a game after all, or used to be until it became a wealth generating industry.
Now, the question is are the costs worth it to the most innocent amongst us seeking to folowm in their favorite players footsteps?
Some of us had an emotional attachment to the game and gave a damn.
Those of you who have ask these kinds of questions will never get it, so why bother?
Because it's unsportsmanlike, unhealthy, and sets a bad example for our children who look up to Baseball players as role models whether we like it or not.
Absolutely! Let 'em juice their hearts out! Does anyone complain that rock stars' performances are chemically enhanced? Why is it so different in the arena of sport? I honestly don't understand why people are offended by the use of steroids in this entertainment industry when in other forms of professional entertainment it's okay.

Because these a$$ clowns are sending a message to our kids that you have to cheat to compete.
I'm with you. What's all the fuss about. People can do what they want to improve themselves. It's not my concern.
It just seems that most are inherently self-righteous.
