A-DOPE! Baseball's Highest Paid Moron

Without getting into the nuts and bolts of the specifics of this A-ROD case, I just wanted to post a Commentary about the matters in fact.

Substantively, the ideas that surround the sport and therefore, the man, are clear and without debate. The world is only about MONEY and the pursuit thereof. It does not necessarily have to do with the love of the game or about competing on the playing field of level and fair play.

A-DOPE is REALLY trying to convince us that he did not know that what he was using was ILLEGAL? Come on people, please. You are telling me that this individual is not smart enough to realize what he is doing? He is obviously smart enough
to be one of the highest paid men in baseball. You're trying to tell me that he was not aware of of that which could risk his career or his contract? You are telling me that he has not been advised or apprised of what could jeopardize his career? I'm not buying it.

Did I mention that steroids are illegal? I guess A-ROD didn't know that either. Maybe he can take those millions and millions of dollars and learn about honor and integrity. I guess that's gone out of baseball too.

STAY DRUG FREE people. It keeps you healthy, it keeps you honorable, it keeps the essence of your spirit and your willingness to do things the hard way intact. If my grandparents could live through the worst of what history threw at them, then I can rough it too.

That makes me BETTER than A-DOPE...Because I am wealthier than he is. Why? Because I still have my honor.
