A Rod

Obviously a lot about Alex Rodriguez has been said over the past few days. Fans, owners, coaches, commentators, and writers have all had their say on the the latest A Rod scandal. Something about this is bothering me though. It is perfectly fair to condemn the use of steroids, to believe that an asterisk should be placed next to the stats of those found guilty of using PEDs, or even to keep these guys out of the Hall of Fame. However, to come down on Rodriguez, or ANY of those implicated in this scandal on a personal level is disgusting as well as hypocritical. Yes, these guys did something wrong, some of them even lied about it, and continue to lie about it, but in the grand scheme of the world , it really isn't a big deal. These guys cheated in a game, get over it. I've heard people on the television and radio this weekend condemn A Rod as a filthy, no good liar, a scoundral, and a criminal. There is not one of us... NOT... ONE... who hasn't cheated or lied in their life. Just because these men are multi millionares and professional atheletes, does not make them exempt form the same defeciencies and faults that any person has. They are still humans, just with more money than I could ever fathom. So it is my request that all you self righteous radio call in "experts" step off of your pedestal, put down the qurater pounder and join me in the real world.
