Well yes except for the fact the criminality of one group of people doesn't excuse the criminality of another group of people.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Couldn't care less. Quit watching pro sports.

 

[deltex1]

Well yes...but compare the affect of the criminalties...Arod's sins are minuscule.

I hear your pain...thank god the LLWS is coming up...

Not in the context of his profession they aren't, his sins are extremely egregious and damaging to professional baseball and thus it is rightly the province of professional baseball to dictate the terms of his punishment, you reap what you sow and the time has come for Mr. Rodriguez to do his reaping.

You may be right if you believe the "context of his profession" is all that pure. MLB is not the Catholic Church..............................ooooops.

Bad news, the Catholic Church isn't even the Catholic Church anymore but that should not deter those who wish to clean up it from applying appropriate punishment to pedophile priests, just like it shouldn't stop professional baseball from attempting to get it's act together by nailing Alex's balls to the floorboards for contributing to the erosion of integrity going on in the sport.

He is 38 years old and at the end of his career.

If he is suspended for the recommended amount of games, his MLB career is essentially over. That is why he is appealing, so he can play out this year.

but will it be worth it b/c he will be vilified in every ball park he visits. I'm wondering what will happen when he goes home. what happens there is the true barometer of fan opinion.

I'm sure the Yankee organization wants to get out of the contract however.

he has a HOF career


Look at all the black ink

Alex Rodriguez Statistics and History - Baseball-Reference.com

one batting title
once leading in doubles
5 times runs scored leader
5 times HR leader
2 times RBI leader


he even stole a pack of bases

 

[LordBrownTrout]

They should increase their dosage of these drugs. There's no reason a fan should have to be subjected to such mundane boredom at the park. Each player should be homering at least a hundred and fifty times a year and stealing bases every time on base.

It would leave him only with his financial worth of $300 million dollars, but no sense of purpose, which he has asked for.

I say making over a half billion dollars to play baseball (and that is without the endorsement deals), is getting off lightly!

Look the guy took stuff that allowed him to reup on a $252 mil contract, can you blame him? One of those contracts will make his great grandchildren flithy rich!

do you mean like this:

all those "black ink" records should be wiped from the books, due to his drug enhancement performance.., just look at what they done to Pete Rose, and all he did was place a few bets........., crazy, huh ??

They should not only ban him from baseball for life, they should take steps to ensure he doesn't make one cent from writing about it!!!!!

 

[FA_Q2]

Rules should not be subject to random bouts of sympathy. What he did was wrong and the consequences known. He should pay them.

Read Nighfox's post again...but more slowly this time.

and the pitchers throw underhand slow pitch style

 

[Spoonman]

athletes get paid way too much IMO. to the point where a professional sports event is no longer affordable to the average person. and forget about season tickets.
