Comments on: Congress: The Evil Empire? http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/05/27/congress-the-evil-empire/ For news & views on the Boston Red Sox Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:13:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5 by: Mike http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/05/27/congress-the-evil-empire/#comment-22 Fri, 27 May 2005 13:21:20 -0400 http://bosoxblotter.com/2005/05/27/congress-the-evil-empire/#comment-22 Unfortunately, I have to agree this time with Shawn. As much as I would like to argue the alternative, that the policy will help, I don't think Congress or government should be mingling with this as much as they are, or intend to. Shawn makes some valid points about the Govt. and its policies to other lines of work. However, didn't the Ultimate Warrior die because of drug use? And the govt. has more important issues they should be dealing with, other than the use of steroids in major league sports. Unfortunately, I have to agree this time with Shawn.

If it means replacement players, so be it. I think it's an insult to the game to use performance enhancing drugs --- why not let them use corked bats, then? I would rather a clean game.
