New Sports

Looking at sports in general right now, I don't think you could introduce any sport these days and it be as successful as these sports grew to be. Look at UFC or Arena Football. Same as MLS, both just cult followings. UFC is supposedly "bigger" than boxing but, look how bad boxing has become. Nobody knows the champions anymore and the only time people get interested is when an old boxer steps back into the ring. People are so stuck on their old ways they don't want to give anything different a chance. Baseball players as a whole were killing their own sport. Hockey players didn't learn from that lesson like they should have. Basketball wasn't followed so much the year they came out of strike if I remember correctly. Bonds also seems to think he knows what Aaron went through because he's a black man too. No way. That would be like a professional athlete saying he's a slave. It disgraces your race, yourself, and the men who fought through unimaginable things to make the world what it is today. But when he breaks the record, I hope they put a huge asterik by it and write it in italics so that years on down the road when some old man takes his grandkid to Cooperstown and they ask him "Grandpa, what does that mean?", "Oh, that. Barry Bonds....That SOB. I wish somebody would've beaned him in the head." And the problem with this era is that it will be remembered as the Steroid Era. It tarnishes everything all the players do in this time regardless of whether or not they're on "performance enhancers". If you ask me, great pitching is better than great hitting any day. But like you said, most of those guys are probably juiced too. Terrible.
On MLS, I think that league will actually survive this time. They just need a breakout star that can appeal to the masses. It's not Beckham. It could be that 17 year-old kid that got signed. If he's as good as they say, I haven't seen him play yet, then he could be their saving grace. The best part is, there isn't too much pressure on him because soccer isn't too nationally recognized yet. It will change though. I can't believe it didn't change after that awesome women's team.
That's it for me, off to sleepy land. Been almost 24 hours now. And Judge, just admit it, you'd love to see Bonds get beaned.
