Who Shamed the Game? Selig or A-Rod.

Posted on | February 12, 2009 | No Comments

This is why Corporate Whoredom was started:

As you probably know, the results from the 2003 MLB drug tests were leaked and 104 players, according to the leak, tested positive. Only one name was leaked: MLB media diplomat Alex Rodriguez.

Now, I am not at all surprised A-Rod tested positive. The Whoredom has been pounding ESPN and the media for how little of a story this should be. “Little” as in “nobody should be shocked. Quit acting like you just found out that the ‘Tooth Fairy’ was just your parents stealing a dollar from your piggy bank and sneaking it under your pillow while ganking lost tooth and throwing it in the garbage.”

What I am surprised about is how Bud Selig has the audacity to say that Alex Rodriguez “shamed the game.” Bud Selig has been Commissioner of MLB either in the interim or full time since 1992. His tenure is longer than most, if not almost all of the careers of the players for which he is responsible. He has been the Commissioner for most if not all of the Steroids era in MLB. How the Hell does he even try to feign being blameless. Where in the blind-moron’s Hell does Bud Selig get the notion that he can polish up his halo and run his aura through the ordeal.

When does the blame fall down upon him? If impeached Illinois Rod Blagojevich would have had any of this under his watch, he would have been gone last year. If the Rod did the bended-knee plea “I promise to clean it up” crap, he would have been laughed out (again).

So, I pose 2 questions.

1) Why the Hell is Bud Selig aloud to parade around blameless?

2) The MLB is getting slapped on the wrist for not having tougher policies on illicit, illegal substances. Many of the players pollute themselves with ILLEGAL substances and all MLB gets from our faithful government is a stern warning to “do it better.” This is corporate whoredom at its finest.

For a country so hellbent on spending billions of dollars they don’t have in order to try and rid the country of illicit drugs, they are sure as hell turning quite the blind eye to a couple hundred high-profile open-n-shut cases.

I love the game, but if I did half of what these players did constantly and for such exploitation to the extent where even a half-assed DA could get hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and /or theft brought up on them, I’d be in solitary confinement and wouldn’t be allowed to see the sun until I’m fifty-five. The same sun these manipulative, cheating bastards take for granted each and every summer.

The sad truth is that even this might not make Bud Selig the Corporate Whore of the week.
