MLB Turns on Bonds

You may or may not have heard; there was a collusion by several Major League Baseball teams to keep Barry Bonds off of the field this year. While on one hand, he cheated, got caught, jeopordized the integrity of the game, and brought about an era of negativity and skepticism that lead to the downfalls of many careers. So its a fitting punishment right? RIGHT??

Well no. The man, albeit a cheater, has had to deal with death threats, people turning their backs on him, media punishment, court hearings, and federal cases. Isn’t this bad enough? The guy has paid a sufficient cost!

The worse part is that it looks like there will be little to no punishment on the MLB team conspirators. So, the media and the MLB along with the government have exposed his personal life, made him the joke of the year as far as sports goes, belittled his otherwise godly career- taking him from throne to dungeon as far as the baseball empire goes, and now they won’t let him into their super exclusive clubhouse (pun intended) where only those “holier-than-thou” may hang out and drink their kool-aid and eat sweets.

When is enough, enough? Seriously, I disliked Barry more than anyone, now I can’t help but feel like I like him more than everyone.
