	Baseball and Steroids Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

What are your thoughts on this issue?

The "small goverment" republicans are intervening. I really don't care about baseball much anymore. But it's a big news story, so by law we are required to have a thread on it.

I voted on steroids. If everyone uses them, they will be on a level playing field so to speak.

Where's the "I wish Congress would stop wasting their time on steroids in baseball" option? That's the option for which I'd vote, and I'm witholding my vote until that's an option.

Well seeing as how Baseball refuses to give up thier anti-trust exemption (The reason they even have the right to hold hearings) and we don't care enough to force Congress to strip them of it, I'd say Congress has as much right to deal with this as anything else.

Maybe Gilbert Brown looks like a sumo, and maybe the Offensive lineman act like sumos, but the rest of the players certainly don't act like sumos, especially receivers and those in the defensive secondary.

Does this look like a sumo?

So? That fact that American Football is a mutant form of rugby doesn't preclude it from being our national pastime.

Besides, baseball is just a mutant form of cricket (or some older British game along the same lines)

It's just a different context. Passtime indicates something you do to pass the time. Past-time/pastime indicates that it is a time-honored tradition.
