On the Mitchel Report: And what it tells us 'bout the state of the nation

[nadinbrzezinski]

Ok, ok, some may say... who cares? It's baseball!

I care. No, not because nine of the Yankees 2000 team was involved. I could not give a hoot about CY Young awards, or runs brought home or anything like that. I have not cared about that sport since the strike...

But... then why do you care?

MItchell recommended that nothing be done to the players.

Ok, read this again... he recommended that nothing be done to the players...

Some of these folks are VERY and I mean this VERY RICH... and they have CONTACTS. They have also broken Baseball regulations regarding the use of enhancing drugs. Not only that, they may be in LEGAL jeopardy. And I don't know how many of them are heroes to kids. Think of the message... if you have ENOUGH connections NOTHING will happen to you... but lord help you if you are middle class or poor.

So for those who claim that all men are created equal and everybody is equal before the law... read this again.

The country, and her values are no longer recognizable to me... and this is a crying shame.
