What an idiot. How can you not be to blame for this steroids era? You're the freaking commissioner! You let a game end in a tie, I'm pretty sure you could've been more diligent in cracking down on steroids before they became so prevalent.

This isn't to say he's the sole reason for the game and steroids becoming synonymous but come on, you had a hand in it.

Quote:
"It is important to remember that these recent revelations relate to pre-program activity," Selig said last week. "Under our current drug program, if you are caught using steroids and/or amphetamines, you will be punished. Since 2005, every player who has tested positive for steroids has been suspended for as much as 50 games."
So why did you make unsolicited comments about suspensions and changing records? Why did you comment that you were thinking seriously about not attending when Bonds broke the record? If these are pre-program activities as you say, why are you acting like you're going to punish people now... even though you know you can't? And if you're speaking out against amphetamines also then where are the harsh words for the likes of Mike Schmidt who has admitted to taken them?

Just shut up, Bud.

Re: Selig Doesn't Want Blame For Steroids Era

Of course he shoudn't be blamed. Why? He should not be held accountable for illegal activity happening under his watch. He shouldn't be held accountable for helping to taint the most renowned record in professional sports. He shouldn't be held accountable from sweeping this stuff under the rug while making bank for his business.

The man is a joke.

Re: Selig Doesn't Want Blame For Steroids Era

He fits right in with the current fabric of our country - no one is accountable anymore and it's always someone else's fault.

I honestly hate Selig more than any guy who 'roided - Canseco, Bonds, A-Rod, Clemens, etc.

He's an idiot; I bet the Brewers are thrilled he doesn't have control over that franchise anymore...He's made the all-star game a joke, the WS is horrible with like 10 days off between the LCS and the actual 1st game. I say just let Goodell take over MLB as well and be done with it

Selig sucks. He is to blame. Not the players.
