G'day Everyone!
When I heard the Mitchell Report saying of which MLB player takes drugs to increase performance powers, there is bound to be a major fall-out that's going to happen. Lawyers are going to be called in. Woe to the powers of Major League Baseball when it happens.
But the Mitchell Report should not have focused on baseball alone. It should have focused on ALL SPORTS players. Football players use drugs to increase their speed and hitting powers. That's why you see MORE players hurt! (You think Buffalo's former QB Jim Kelly wasn't hurt from a drug stuffed player? Think again!). Tennis players use the drugs to increase hitting the ball harder. Cycling sport use drugs to increase performance to their legs so that they can ride harder and faster. Hockey players? Oh they brawl (fight) harder when they are pumped up on illegal drugs too! Don't forget basketball players too!
The Mitchell Report could not have come at a worse time in our lives. We are less than a year out to the 2008 Summer Olympic games. How much time will it take for every player to flush their bodies of the illegal drugs they taken? Not enough time.
So when I saw the Mitchell Report on baseball, every lawyer is going to come out and start representing the players. They know a major payday for themselves when they see it. It's also going to be a major Public Relations war for MLB too. Fans won't be coming back. You can bet that the shock wave will also hit and impact on all the other sports too.
You know, when I was young, I was taught that the best way to win the game was diet, eat the right foods, exercise, faith, and perseverance. Honesty in the game also wins the day. Cheaters never prosper as well.
Today? I feel a huge sadness for those young people getting involved in the sport. Times have changed. The drugs (illegal or legal) have no place in sports. The only thing that should remain to be in the game is Honesty and Honor. If Honesty and Honor are gone from every game, it's no wonder the stink of the locker rooms is drifting all over the playing field. So is dirty money as well.
I hope every young person will enjoy to play in high school and college games, but fore-go the professional games until the professional leagues clean up themselves. Will the professional league clean up their drug filled act? I will doubt that. But if they do, then it better snow in hell first.
My advice to the Mitchell report: Next time, investigate all the sports and not just MLB. Ya missed the big ones.

message to "the one":
Generally, it's been agreed that MLB created this report. But according to the fans for other sports, most have been in a huge debate and huge topics of why the Mitchell report didn't reflect other sports. Some of us have written and asking for a check up on other sports to see if drug abuse is present as well. So consider that, 'the one'. When other sports are checked up on..then we'll call the mitchell report fair. But for now.. good luck to MLB.. the lawyers are coming out and will tear it apart.
