Maybe if the national media (ESPN), and their lead baseball correspondents (Buster Olney, Peter Gammons) spent less time apologizing for baseballs problems, and more time telling it like it is, people would be turned off by baseball and put it in perspective.

People care about steroids; you can bet they worry when they see their kids play Varsity sports what kind of pressure they might be under to juice. What we don't need is Peter Gammons assuaging the audience that nothing changes, and Buster Olney assuring everyone that Mitchell has "no standard of proof". They both ought to be fired.

These people illegally acquired drugs, and used them, end of story. And you the fans were duped out of your money. You didn't see Baseball's Golden age, you were bamboozled. You weren't watching MLB you were watching WWE.

Sports thinks it is untouchable. The chickens, I assure you, will come home to roost.
