Congress Out Of Control

[slimm50]

Maybe somebody's already posted a reply similar to this, I dunno, didn't read the entire thread yeat, but if they're gonna do this they may just as well consider similar action against the movie industry for the stars' use/abuse of controlled substances. Makes about as much sence.

In other words: BUTT OUT, CONGRESS!

If congress is willing to legislate drug testing, they should be willing to submit to it as well.

That would be more entertaining than baseball anyway.

gawdammed right. and i'd just love to administer the tests and prepare the results. and they would get no damn appeal or retest on failure. just like THEIR ****ed-up program stuffed down our throats 12 years ago.

Did anyone notice the * on the new policy adopted by MLB?
yadda yadda yadda....LIFETIME BAN*


*possible reinstation after 2 years.  Gimme a break. If they consider 2 years a lifetime ban then wtf isn't Pete Rose in the hall yet?



I think congress has MUCH more important issues to devote its time to than substances, performance enhancing or otherwise, intentionally ingested by athletes or anyone else. If some ignoramus wants to have 100 more career home runs than he otherwise would've had at the expense of croaking in his 40s or 50s I say let him do it. We'll be rid of the dishonest sonofabich that much sooner.  Basing our self worth as a country on whether or not some overpaid jerkoff dopes himself is just stupid.

Besides...aren't we fighting a WAR or something like that?

Totally agree.  Might just be a warning shot to the week-knee'd owners to get it cleaned up.  Also likely that Bunning is just PO'd that it took so long for him to get in the HOF (and he just barely squeaked in)

baseball enjoys a legal monopoly status, That's why congress will tell MLB to kiss its Ars.

look up antitrust.
