Blogging about change and current news

For some reason we have turned or had turned to sports figures as our heroes. They have realized the dream that so many of us had while kids, trying our very best just to get to first string and now these guys are getting paid to do a job that is amazing and yet could be another fraud. Perhaps we are just fooling ourselves believing that these guys want to play on a level playing field, or we just turn a blind eye and hope that the dramatic weight gain and size is just the result of a good workout. No matter what, it is a fraud.
I think how many baseball games I watched believing my home team was just amazing and now it seems that they only wanted to make a buck. When I was young you could get free magazines centered around your favorite sports and they wrote about the game and the love playing the game and not about all this hype that athletes seem to want to create. That was my money by the way, paying for overpriced tickets and food and getting so excited to see a win, following my players with great detail only find that they need an asterisk. A star to show that their results need to placed on other chart. Wow, all this time perhaps Jose Canseco was right. No one wanted to believe him, now so much of it was true. Now Tejada is in trouble for lying to the government. Will anyone be make an example of for the sake of our kids?
