Steroids

Steroids saved baseball. The homers started flying and everyone was cheering. Mark McGwire turned into a Paul Buynan-level living folk legend right before our eyes. Baseball pariah, Jose Canseco, tells everybody who will (and many who don't want to) listen he and many others were on the juice the whole time. We applauded the thrills and jeered the cheating.

But, the cheating is what we liked. Think about it, these men were willing to negatively affect their health for your entertainment. At this point, you should be pissed if your favorite player didn't do steroids. Roughly the entire league is out their trying to get an edge and Johnny Morals is not going to harm himself for my amusement. Not to mention, the increase in production leads to bigger contracts. So, now you are rude and stupid. In the "loosey-goosey" era of steroids, many (most/all) players were voluntarily injecting themselves with needles to boost their stats by 10-20%. Would you shoot up something that shrinks your balls to be ten percent better at your job? No, no you wouldn't.
