All sports have banned Steroid use. This gives kids the impression that steroids are bad. However, in Baseball they don't actively seek or punish for steroid use. This tells kids that Steroids aren't bad.
maybe for your kids that's true. It really depends on the emphasis the parent places on sports and sports stars. personally I think sports stars blow. my kids reflect that attitude.
I played highschool football. I played on a team that set up the next graduating class to be able to take the state title from a team that had dominated in Florida for about a quarter century.
what annoys me about sports fans is their vicarious enthusiasm when the team does well versus their rejection of the same when it doesn't.
the pinheads running around hollering "we won, we won" the high fiving and the euphoria make me laugh. if you weren't in uniform and participating then you neither won nor lost you were a spectator. spectators don't rate in my opinion because I don't own any sporting franchises.
the idiots in congress are the worst form of spectators.
my kid's heros are thier mom and dad because we are involved in their lives as partners. think about that a bit next time you sit in front of the idiot tube drunk, rooting for borderline criminals and sociopaths.
