deathpoet's blog: "Daily Rant"

I must admit as a youth I was a huge baseball fan.  Baseball, to me, will always be the great equalizer of childhood sports.  There's a place for each childtype.  From the large power athlete.  The rangey lanky kid.  The pudgey kid and everything in between.  But, that's kids...

Professional athletics is a Multi-Million dollar business and so the question of chemical enhancement and its use has arisen.   Before we attempt to denounce it consider this.  Michelangelo was a drunk.  Bob Dylan, very obvious as well as bands like Dave Matthews.  Hell what's Viagra if not a performance enhancing drug?   And, while wives still might not pay their husbands millions for using it, how many men who need Viagra wouldn't want to reward its makers millions?

The point is. we accept performance enhancement in all the asthetics around us, everyday.  What is sports, if not physical asthetics?

So, do you want to pay to see bunts or home runs?

Just asking...
