If you ban arod, you have to ban plenty of others.
I don't know if arod is remorseful or not, but he's admitted his cheating, paid with a year's suspension, and is saying all the right things.
It would have been a tragedy if he got away with it, but he's done his time.
He's a two time offender who said the right things after the first time yet did it again. He tried scorched earth, complete with a celebrity defense attorney, to wriggle out of the second offense. He also lied to every NY area sports radio listener when he flatly denied using -- then it all collapsed -- then he got sued by his lawyers for not paying them. He made a circus out of it the second time.
He's nice guy, self-effacing Alex now -- but only after every other approach failed.
And I say this as a huge Yankees fan and with an appreciation of his immense natural talent.
Strntz,
Have you seen the documentary? Because he HAS not paid his due. In fact, he probably should have done some prison time for what is revealed in this documentary. Perfectly clear obstruction of justice. On top of that, he clearly is not remorseful.
If you haven't seen it, I strongly suggest watching the documentary.
I haven't seen it and won't, anymore than I'll watch the Michael Jackson "documentary". I don't watch hit pieces.
Don't get me wrong, I was screaming at MLB to do something about Rodriguez. As a baseball fan, I was furious when he sued MLB. Once he was suspended for a full year and lost a year's salary, and more importantly, was outed, I was satisfied. He's also lost his shot at the HOF which is fine with me. Other than the informal screening test, A-Rod never failed a drug test. There are guys who are lauded in this game who also cheated and never got caught. His suspension was longer than anyone who never failed a formal test.
Since then, he's admitted he cheated, admitted it was wrong, and is remorseful - at least in public which is what I want to see. How he feels in private doesn't matter to me.
I'm not now nor was I ever a fan of Alex Rodriguez, but I don't hate him any longer.
Well, the documentary is not a "hit" piece. And from what he was caught doing (revealed by documents and recordings) show his "scandal" was much deeper and more serious than a lot of reporting even touched on.
And when contrasted to other banned baseball players, he should be right up there with them.
Besides that, it really is an entertaining documentary.
So, with this line, you are okay with a person that puts on a fake exterior while the interior not seen is the true one?
