I agree. It's about kids and freaks.
Those athletes are famous, paid well and have all manner of endorsements. Their shoes, bats, mitts and jerseys are splattered with their names. Because they are influential. And they are influential because their names are splattered all over everything.
The message from a drug-riddled sport to kids will be devastating. Is devastating.
I saw a mountain-biker in my woods a while back. About 18, with two other kids who were wearing T-shirts with a high-school logo and with a very, very expensive bike. He already had steroid veins. Poor kid.
Artificial self-worth.
