Alex Rodriquez Steroid Saga: Was Media Too Soft On A-Rod?

I am sick of superstar athletes committing major offenses and acting like they are the victim! And worse yet, the major sports media outlets don't ask anything more than the obvious questions.

Where did you get your journalism degrees?

A crackerjacks box?

By now we all know about Alex Rodriguez's admission to using performance-enhancing drugs.

He claims that his cousin told him about them and said they were legal, over the counter drugs in the Dominican Republic. He also said they were in pill form and not injected. All the while trying to make everyone feel sorry for him by saying that he was under so much pressure, and he just wanted to live up to all the expectations.

And when asked point blank, "Do you feel like you cheated the game of baseball?".

He replied by saying, "That is not for me to decide. We'll let history be the judge of that."

Are you kidding me. My questions during the press conference would be: 

"If they were legal, why did you have to go to the Dominican Republic to get them?"

"You admit to using performance-enhancing drugs, but not that you cheated?"

I am absolutly disgusted with the commissioner, the players union, and the media's handling of this situation. I think they should take all 104 players who tested positive for steroids back when the Mitchell Report was conducted, make all of their names public, and ban them all from baseball for life.

That should cleanse the reputation of many players and end the problem once and for all without hurting anyone who is innocent. Like the fans.
