Steinbrenner: why they don’t attack other sports?

 

After the debacle surrounding baseball these days, Hank Steinbrenner, one of the two brothers whom owns the Yankees, came out saying that he’s tired of all the stones being thrown at the major leagues, since he considers football a sport that is more predisposed for the use of performance enhancement drugs.

"Everybody that knows sports knows football is tailor-made for performance-enhancing drugs. I don't know how they managed to skate by. It irritates me. Don't tell me it's not more prevalent. The number in football is at least twice as many. Look at the speed and size of those players." He said.

I would have to say that I am agree with Steinbrenner’s opinion, if they are assaulting one sport and getting alot of famous names dirty, then they should go for the rest of the professional leagues and do a general cleaning, I am not a hater of people who uses juice to keep up with their performance, but when you do it for a living, when that is your profession, then you should be concerned about public opinion and I also think about those other guys who decide to stay clean but can’t keep up with the dishonesty around them and end up being second places just for doing things right? Not fair for anybody.

But the big guys in Football couldn’t wait to speak up their minds as to Steinbrenner’s comments: “We’ve had year-round random testing with immediate suspensions since 1990 and we conduct approximately 12,000 steroids tests a year.” Said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

But I guess Aiello’s statements are not strong enough to hold back some people that is bittered by the whole fiasco, and I’m sure there will be investigations, not only around the NFL, but probably around the NBA and the NHL too.

It is a run, one that everybody preffer to miss, but it will be sometime to know who’s the most corrupt.
