Bud Selig is Not a Good Commissioner

I believe Selig is ruining the game. He made the steroid scandal such an issue, that he got our nation's government to step in and take control.

Unlike Selig, i think the NFL avoided the government's step in.

If you notice, the NFL is the best run organization and has been on top of the t.v. standings for a long time. Earlier today commissioner Roger Goodell met with Sen. Arlen Specter.
"There was confirmation that there has been taping since 2000, when Coach Belichick took over," Specter said.
Sen. Specter met with Goodell to discuss why he destroyed tapes and notes from the patriots.
Goodell told the media that he has already given a punishment to the Patriots and does not need the tapes.
People think Goodell is hiding things, if he is, GOOD, at least he's not ruining the NFL like Selig is the MLB.

I hope the steroid controversy has reached its full potential now, with Roger Clemens. I think Selig should have fixed the steroid policy and then quit fooling with it. But no, instead he had to keep on, for what? For his hatred towards one player? For his dying plead for one record not to be broken? Selig took it to far and now the game will hurt because of it. Roger Clemens is an icon, and if we lose him, there's no telling what else we'll lose... -Zack Pinkham, your Reds GM

I complete agree. Baseball is the best sport, for one reason: it's the hardest one to play. People that have never played it simply don't understand it. They don't understand the pressure that comes with being up to bat with 2 outs, bottom of the ninth, tying run on 3rd, and a full count. So people tend to stick with the easier sports to play, like football (I'm DEFINITELY not saying football is easy to play...just not as hard as baseball), and that's how baseball keeps losing fans. The McGwire and Sosa homeun chase was INCREDIBLE for the game, and at the time, I didn't care if either one of them were on steroids. What mattered was that NOBODY talked about that, people talked about how often baseball games were on tv, and on news, and every channel basically.

I just don't understand that purpose of the Mitchell Report. So we know SOME people who supposedly used steroids. That means nothing...we can't take records away (as much as I hate Barry Bonds and would love to), we can't take awards away from them. If that information had been used to prevent people from useing PEDs in the future, then great. But all of this focus is on things that happened 6 and 7 years ago. I want to make sure that kids in college and the young ones in the pros aren't using them. I want a clean slate, and to be able to root for my favorite players and know they are playing the game cleanly and "the right way, the way the game should be played" (to use a quote from Ryne Sandberg's Hall of Fame Induction speech, which I was at).
