Goodell,Selig are Co-Defendants in Steroid,Tapes Trials

If you ask me, Roger Goodell and Bud Selig ought to be in front
of Congress like Roger Clemens currently is. Their apparent culpability in their sport's controversies show that they had some knowledge of wrongdoing prior to the actual revelation to the public!

In the case of Selig, last week former pitcher John Rocker spoke about his taking performance enhancing drugs. Why, he was advised by MLB and union doctors that taking steroids in small doses weren't harmful! This is irresponsible. It's like being a 'little pregnant'! Performance enhancing drugs taken in any form and amount should never be condoned by those responsible for the health of players! This happened during Selig's watch, so he's responsible. Selig long ago should have spoken out vehemently against any and all performance enhancing drugs, implemented testing (with the players'union in agreement), and inflicted harsh penalties against offenders.
Maybe I'm speaking too soon. After all, baseball gave pitcher Steve Howe TOO many chances! I'm a compassionate person, but that was ridiculous! Howe received so many chances that he probably EXPECTED to be given a slap on the wrist.
Athletes are nothing but today's gladiators. The more talented a player, the more leeway he's given. That can also apply to successful teams and coaches.

Roger Goodell has to be one of the weakest leaders in the U.S.-morally speaking, that is. He knew that Pats' coach Bill Belichick has been illegally taping oponents since 2000, when he first became their coach! Now the Senate wants to know why Goodell destroyed those tapes and notes.
This is as weak as water,folks!
Belichick thought the tapings were legal. Goodell said he didn't 'concur'! How weak and morally decrepit. Goodell covered Belichick by destroying the tapes. Now a former Pats' employee is coming forward with evidence he taped a pre-Super Bowl walkthrough by the St. Louis Rams in 2002. The Pats won the game 20-17, even though they were 2 touchdown underdogs. In fact, the Pats won all 3 of their Super Bowls by just 3 points each. It seem like poetic justice that the Giants 'stomped them out' by 3 points. Taping may have swung the pendulum in their favor, given them an unfair advantage. Goodell has a responsibility to act decisively and swiftly in quelling such behavior. Only this season, after the Pats were caught taping the Jets, were Belichick and the Pats punished; Belichick being fined $500,000, and the Pats $250,000.
The apparent hypocrisy in handling controversies by Commissioners Selig and Goodell weaken the public's confidence in their sports. This must stop now, else folks will lose faith, then refuse to come to the stadium, buy beer and concessions, pressure sponsors,etc. If this happens then they have no one else to blame but themselves.
