More on Steroids

I was thinking back to my junior high years and we were watching this video in Health class regarding the dangers of using steroids. It was a story about a couple of gymnasts who were taking steroids to help them better physically, but in the end, their careers were over.

After the video, there were a list of symptoms that a person typically shows when they are using steroids. Some of them were: mood swings, nose bleeds, small "balls", furrowed brow, etc. But one of the symptoms caught me by surprise -- Death.

When that scrolled across the screen, we had one funny guy in class that said, "Well, no shit!"

It was pretty funny -- guess you had to be there.

where the hell are the pictures that you have listed as being updated soon, since when does soon mean two years. Baseball sucks ass, I have know respect for the game, they all cheat and no salary cap, why not throw all the college sports into one class then, stupid stupid, stupid. The sad thing is all you wonderful fans, and I mean that in a good way, have allowed the game to become corrupted because you look the other way, you slap the wrist, all because you love america's game so very much. But seriously what is sport, what is competition, baseball is neither. Teams able to spend more money in general have the higher quality of players. And steroids is pathetic. Cheating disgraces the game, but knowone really wants to make to big of a deal out of it. Steriods don't improve your hand I cordination, well then if they are not going to help you in the sport why would you take them, exactly because they improve you, that doesn't mean good players or great players would still be good or great, but it does mean they elevate the game by that much. Sport is all about equal playing fields. You fans could make baseball, the american pasttime, that much better, that much more popular, that much closer followed if you would demand excellence. If you would stop and say, "Hey we deserve a game with honest and respectful atheletes." When you stand up to the corruption you will take the first step in improving a game that unfortunately has turned much of america away.
