Fan tosses syringe near Bonds
(SportingNews.com)
-
A spectator tossed a syringe near Barry Bonds as he came off the field in between innings on Monday at Petco Park, and the San Francisco Giants slugger said he picked it up in his glove and carried it off the field.Here we go. All season long. It will be interesting to see how the media handles this kind of "fan protest." It is the media who has made the biggest deal out of just one player, Bonds, who may have cheated, allegedly, in a league of players who cheated, many allegedly, though some have in fact made admissions. The media often spews bromides like "what kind of example does using steroids set for the kids?" But the media is full of hyprocrites, because by launching a witch hunt based on nothing but circumstantial evidence, they're now influencing fans to the point that some moron shows up at a stadium, throws a syringe at a man he doesn't even know, and other spectators in attendence cheer him on. What if it was a bottle, or batteries or a more damaging object? Don't people have the right to go to work in a safe environment? Baseball is only a game. I ask you, what kind of example does it set for the kids to act like a crude, vulgar, and possibly dangerous boor in public, and have others justify that kind of behavior? What will the media say about that? Or will they just buttress the hypocrisy and continue to implicitly encourage this kind of behavior by remaining silent?
