you said: "You are going to tell me that it's a good thing to ban a substance that helps someone do their job better?" which is a total misunderstanding of everything. again, that is exactly like claiming corked bats should be legal (if they worked, which they dont) because cork is a substance that helps hitters "do their job better". i dont but i wouldnt tell anyone they cant run a league with just whites if they wanted. its not my league. i would prefer a league with good players of any race that are not juicing. but its not my call.
Exactly, so rules can be changed and leagues can progress. Personally, I like the game the way it is. I'm glad we are seeing 1.32 era's and capping home runs around 50. That's the game I grew up watching. When Tony Gwynn, and Wade Boggs, Ozzie Smith, and Cal Ripken Jr. were stars in the league. What I am saying is that baseball is a business. And if baseball starts to slip, and continues to get pathetic ratings, and loses money, what do you do? And yes, I also believe people should be able to juice if they want to, and I know it's their rules, I know I am a peon, but I can have an opinion on the matter even if it isn't worth a damn.
if you like the game the way it is why do you think they should allow juicers? it changes the game very dramatically
I do like the game how it is now, and if it continues the same, or if they allow juice, it won't bother me either way. But I'm not running to my television to watch baseball right now. Baseball can do what they want, and will obviously, they are hell bent on not even bringing replay into the game, but I wouldn't complain if juice was allowed. My whole point about the juice is that this game is a business, and now we are telling people what they can and cannot do to themselves to make them provide for their families better and that's where there is huge gray area for me..
you are basically saying you think it is a moral dilemma that sports have rules. my god the overwhelming and shocking stupidity.
negative, I think it's a moral dilemma that there is a rule against performance enhancing drugs. Not that there are rules. I never asked for the change in length between the plate and mound or the plate and bases, never for a change in balls and strikes, never for a change on how the bats are made or if we should change to metal bats. That is modifying an instrument within the game, not one's personal body. I guess technically you could say that the body is an instrument within the game, but that's like telling people, you cannot eat sushi in this league. It's ridiculous.
why would it be ridiculous to start a no sushi league? do you understand the concept pf private ownership? remember my example of the football league for people under 200 pounds? if this were a pro league, would you think that a moral dilemma, that dudes couldn't bulk up and crush the other guys? do you understand why the person paying the salary gets to impose whatever they want? yunno you dont have to play baseball if you dont want. they could make a league that bans sushi if they wanted, they could make a league that bans aspirin or coffee. if person X wants to pay person Y to hit baseballs while standing on his head, leave him alone. if person X wants to pay person Y to hit baseballs while not doing roids, leave him alone. there is no grey area. its literally none of your business.
I never said they can't impose their own rules. I am just some dude commenting on the stupidity of said rule. Just like the sushi rule, can they implement it? Of course if they are so inclined to do as such. If want to only let guys in who have over 12 inch cocks and make them play with no pants, it's their league. Doesn't mean that rule isn't dumb. Why do owners have teams? To make some greenbacks and win championships right? You think that owners wouldn't be salivating if you told them tomorrow there would be no blacklisted drugs anymore?
do you think it is stupid that men cannot play in women's leagues? why? i bet lots of guys could make big money in the WNBA. and it certainly would be more entertaining. that sucks, men could make money, feed their families. this is serious we are talking about feeding families. serious question: who you think blacklisted these drugs in the first place if not the baseball owners? so no, i dont think they would salivate to find out someone is reversing their decisions.
Steroids/drugs aren't the issue in professional sports... It's the amount of money they pay immature hood rats who've never had anything, then take their vast fortunes to go to da clubz to make it rain on da ho*s... Most rational, mature adults know that nothing productive happens in clubs, on the strip, or out "cruisin" with the homies at 3am. Professional sports are filled with nothing but rich thugs that can now afford to get themselves off with little or no punishment for their indiscretions.
