I have accepted the fact that one of my baseball heroes, Berry Bonds, is a roid'r. Even though he never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, he did admit to unknowingly using them. Then some guys says "hey, he told me he was using them" and the U.S. Senate wants him in jail for perjury and he is dead in the court of public opinion.

Now my man Clemens is accused of using steroids and he says "I never tested positive and it's not true" and everyone says that's cool; Roger Clemens could never have used drugs.

This is nothing but racism in sports at its worst. Black athletes catch about all of our touchdowns, hit most home runs, jump out of the gym in basketball, and if more black people lived up north, I'm sure that they would be shooting our goals on the ice too. White men are quickly becoming a minority in sports. Those few white dominate athletes that are left are the poster boys for suburban America, while we are looking for any reason to trash fine black men who have done nothing wrong. They are sport's workhorses, and scapegoats.

Who cares that when all other pitchers were aging and losing speed (and games), Roger Clemens was actually getting better. So he is doing amazing things when most people his age in baseball are waiting for their turn in Cooperstown. Clemens was a skinny pitcher for the Red Sox when I was little, throwing his little heart out just like skinny old Barry was hitting home runs in Pittsburgh. Now look at both of them. They are monsters, huge men doing things that should not be possible. Are they evolutions of humans? No, they are machines fueled by the public's need for greater and greater achievement (and roids).

But why is Barry possibly looking at jail time while Clemens is looking at retirement and a tribute for his career on an ESPN special? Clemens is a user, mark my words, as well as half of baseball. He should be standing with Barry pointing the real finger, at the league's insistence on home runs and 95 mph pitches. Selig didn't care how that came about as long as it put butts in the seats until the Grand Jury started asking questions. Bud Selig is the criminal here, not Barry Bonds, and I hope Clemens gets every bit of what Bonds did. He's not a role model: he's a coward.
