As usual, huh?
Interesting.

It was thousands of Americans that voted for the asterisk. He just bought the ball and obliged with what the VAST majority of Americans wanted.

Um...technically, Ecko bought the ball, and said that even though his desire was to brand it with an asterisk, he would let the fans decide.
Which he did in an uncertified and unverified private poll on his own website.
I only point this out as he claimed 10 million people had voted in the one week timespan, despite Alexa tracking results showing less than 1 million total visits to his site over the same time period, not even reducing for multiple visits from the same entities.
And even assuming the 60% of 10 million voters as claimed is accurate, which it certainly isn't...but even assuming it is...that is hardly the "vast majority of Americans."
Truth be told, the vast majority of Americans could care less either way, and it's rather foolish to assert different.
Put simply...three years ago, the angry mob was hoping for jail time and Barry's formal suspension from the game....and after all that we've seen...now all they have left is latching their frustrations onto the publicity stunt of some eccentric dude who makes purses for a living.
Sweet...
