What effect if any will the Mitchell report have on baseball and America?

Now, I believe that Clemens has used steroids; I have a harder time believing that Petite has.

As a former Yankee fan, I too have a hard time believing that Andy Pettite did it too. But that being said, they should all be suspended and if their name is on the list they don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

Marion Jones had to give back her medals and is banned from the Olympics, what makes these ball players any better then her?

I fail to see the problem. I just see it as another way in which we can have better living through science.

I'm not trolling on this, but I believe that as humans it is our right to augment and alter our bodies and senses through any efficient means. And it's not like the players didn't know that the steroids would mess them up. They knew the drawbacks, and took the risks.

What's really killing sport in America is free agency, tax subsidized stadiums that still charge so much on tickets that most taxpayers will not see a live game, the thug culture, and well what's with this bullcrap that most of the Cowboys games aren't even viewable on basic cable now?

WTF?
