A week after the release of the Mitchell Report, baseball is shrugging it off, according to an editorial in today's San Diego Union-Tribune.
The newspaper makes a good point. The players union has to take the lead in this, or steroids will continue to stain the sport and every accomplishment by individuals and teams.
It seems odd, to me, that there should be mechanisms in place for punishing people who engage in recreational drug use, but nothing in place to punish those who use drugs to profit.
Is the profit motive considered so pure and praiseworthy that the ends justify the means? And the recreation motive is considered selfish?
What are your thoughts?
