Senate Hearing On Steroids

[Busyman]

The first (and only) step the Senate should take would be to remove Major-League baseball's anti-trust exemption and let the chips fall where they may.

[

A.) I'm at a total loss as to why Congress is investigating this, do they even have any standing/authority to DO anything?
It's obviously just grandstanding ( much like their intervention into the Florida breathing tube fiasco- the sight of Tom Delay talking about the "ethics" of that sad situation was beyond ironic), and it's irritating that this diversion is wasting the time/energy of an already febrile group.

B.) The stain on baseball's reputation is clearly the fault of the Commissioner's office.
Trying to boost baseball's flagging revenue/fan base lead to ignoring the obvious abuses taking place. The fact that McGwire's records might stand is an insult to any legit player's efforts- his abuse can't be proven because MLB leadership has actively resisted TRYING to monitor and prevent such abuse.

Summed up perfectly.
