Barry Bonds indicted

Why is it such a big deal that Bonds used steroids and not a big deal that tons of others did?

Why does everyone make a big deal out of this leaked testimony that doesn't even show valid evidence of Bonds using steroids, while the Grimsley report names Clemens, Pettite, Tejada, etc. and nobody cares?

Why can Palmeiro scream he never used steroids under oath, test positive for steroids, and nobody care?

Why can Merriman test positive for steroids and nobody care -even elected him to the pro bowl!

If you really think this is about how bad steroids is and how lying is bad you are completely ignorant/dreaming/etc.

Why? Because Bonds is arguably the GOAT, the holder of the most hallowed record in sports, and is generally considered a prick? That make sense? The public could give two [censored] about steroids being bad or dangerous or whatever. It is about "protecting" the national pastime.

Fair or not, that is why he is the poster child for the era.
