Fed Up

It's hard to say when we'll reach the tipping point, but this Gallup poll notes the obvious: we're fed up with pro sports and things better change, starting with baseball:

Baseball fans overwhelmingly favor tougher steroid testing in Major League Baseball and nearly 6 in 10 would favor congressional intervention to ensure it happens. Baseball fans estimate that about one in three major-leaguers have used steroids in the past five seasons.

The only professional sports that don't seem to have bad raps these days are bowling and NASCAR (well, NASCAR if you live in a red state, anyway.)

Baseball's got a steroids problem. The NBA has a violence problem. Football always seems to be on thin ice with one controversy or another. Hockey? Hey - has anybody seen hockey lately?

Collectors, you may want to trade in your Barry Bonds baseball card for that Earl Anthony autograph.

Hockey should set a standard for the other sports. Their most recent strike negotiations includes a proposal from them to take a 24% pay cut.

You think other athletes would be willing do do that to save their sports? Not this generation.
