    Barry Bonds Controversy

    Ok, it's clear that a majority of the fans, and the media want Barry Bonds removed from Baseball. Why? Because he took steroids, something that he partially admitted to when questioned by the grand jury. And after that Grand Jury testimony he was tested several times, and still managed to hit 48 homers, without getting a positive test.

    Alot of fans, including alot members of this gamming community, want all of his records removed because he was juicing. Ok, since you want to take Barrys records away, we must hold everyone else who took steroids equally accountable.

    This whole witch hunt started when Jose Conseco released his book. And the allegations were so outrageous, to the point where the media accused him of trying to sale books. The press and MLB villified Conseco, because he aired MLB's dirty laundry, outside of the club house, which is a big NO NO!

    Here's a list of names that Conseco dropped in his book.

    Bonds,Maguire,Sosa,Giambi,Schilling,Clemmons,Palmeiro. It's clear that ALL of these great players took steroids. But is this generation the first of Baseball to hit the Juice? According to EX Gaints Pitcher Tom House, Steroids was in rampant use in the 1970's.

    So if you want take away Bonds HR records, and MVP's then you must take away the other records set by other players on steroids. Here's a list

    Giambi, Must forfeit his MVP award, along with all the divison titles the A's won when he played for them. And we must take away the divison titles he won as a member of the Yankee's.

    Mcguire, we must remove the 70 homers he hit, along with all the division titles the A's won when he was a member.

    Clemmons, we must remove the world series rings he won with Toronto, and NY, since he "cheated" by taking roids.

    Schilling, we must remove all of his Cy young awards, and World Series rings, because he also "cheated" by taking steroids.

    You see where I'm going with this. If we treated everyone like we're treating bonds, then almost every single record in the mordern era would be removed. Because 70% of the league was juicing.

    But everyone wants to ignore these facts and focus soley on Bonds. Is it Racism, Jealousy, or is this media paying Bonds back for snubbing them through out the years?

    screw all of them. they're using 21st century medicine to crack decades old records. henry aaron was an averaged sized guy of monumental talent. that is what sports are all about. create a new sports league w/ enhanced players. it will bomb. sports is about humans and thier innate ability to play these games. if we want to see enhanced humans hurt each other then we need to invent some new sports.
