That a lot of it, probably a majority, is because he is a jerk and the steroid issue, but I don't think you can deny that their are some people who don't like it because Bonds is black, and would hold ill-will towards Griffey if he was doing this, or Pujols or A-Rod when they start approaching the record.

Bonds is about to pass Ruth not Aaron's that's why I said Ruth not Aaron. Ruth's 714 is still held in very high regard although he doesn't have the record anymore and no one can deny that passing Ruth is going to be a huge deal.
