No federal funds are given to MLB, but they enjoy exemption from anti-trust laws. This gives the gov't the right to get into their business.
The real question is, if laws were broken, why aren't they being investigated by law enforcement/D.A. types?

You've been living in that "red" state of Oklahoma too long. How do you know you're even smart enough to participate in such intellectual discussions as these? Hmmmm?

All those times I've driven down that five-mile stretch of highway and been reminded that a baseball might crash through the windshield at any moment. That honorary sign is a safety hazard. It plumb makes me nervous. Put a "DRUG FREE ZONE" sign there instead.

Hey, I grew up and lived for 33 years in the enlightened Blue state of California. I look at life from both sides now.

I stand corrected! I knew it was SOMETHING that gave the government the "right" to do this. Good points too, 4thInfVet! = )

I can but won't do it publicly!

After removing his name from the highway, the Congress should pass a law to take back the Oscars of every actor who won one while under the influence of drugs or alcohol...well, that would be just about everyone.No one should get an Oscar if they used drug-induced emotions. Dammit! It's such a bad example for the kids.

Deep Breath.... We've got 15,000,000 frickin' illegal aliens in this frickin' country and these frickin' @$$ wads in Congress who don't have one frickin' set of frickin' brains between the sorry @$$ lot of these frickin' morons are wasting the frickin' nations time on a group of maybe 200 frickin' dumb@$$ jocks in MLB who may have taken frickin' steroids. These b@st@rds should be kicked in the frickin' nuts and thrown out of office....!Amen, brother...not to mention Iran buildin' nukes, NK buildin' nukes, etc.
But this baseball thing is REALLY important.
I guess it's not a problem in the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc.
These sanctimonious sloths called politicians really frost me.

Isn't there any REAL legislation to take care of there? Sheesh! No, but there are payroll budgets to squander. If the parasites have to refund it to taxpayers, we might get used to it.

How do you know you're on "Cynthia McKinney" highway? All the cars travel in the left lane, and when drivers stop along the side of the highway to relieve themselves, they point the stream towards the road.

Since when did baseball become a government controlled sport?I would rather see these clowns working on ways to protect our border instead of grandstanding over steroids.They must be looking for a way to tap into the revenue of professional sports to help fund their drunken spending habits.
