Lack of ethics in baseball

In the past players used to be honest and morally conscious. A certain level of candor and honor represented baseball players' actions. They played the game with full heart and spirit. Times have changed. Superstars today do whatever they please whether it's stupid, illegal, or justifiable. Then they get defensive when the media questions their decisions or background history. It's awful to be put under pressure or criticized, but for God sakes these guys are playing professional baseball! They're not doctors or rescue workers trying to save lives. Why would athletes making 8-20 million a year get so upset over normal everyday questions like, how does your performance effect this team or why is an infected syringe laying on the floor board of your car? Certain star players sure are comfortable with lying though. They're so good at this they don't even break a sweat. Simply amazing! Admitting faults or bad judgment is okay. Look at it this way, at least fans and most of the sports world won't hate you forever. That's a bright spot.

After returning to the Giants, everyone again is on Barry Bonds' case for his secret activities and uncooperative behavior. I can see how anyone in his position would get sick and tired of the same type of never ending questioning. He's on his way to breaking the homerun record and all reporters want to talk about is steroids. How dare they challenge him! He doesn't have time to discuss the steroids issue anymore. That's why he's been at home for over 5 months, recuperating from his major surgery (I guess using illegal substances was a bad idea after all. Bonds is at his old trick again I see: trying to pull the wool over peoples' eyes and failing miserably). Even with Bonds hitting 4 homeruns in 4 games in his late season arrival he'll never escape the web of deception he's created for himself without telling the whole truth. The day baseball has no corruption or absence of immoral values maybe everyone will be happy. Let's not hold our breath though.
