Baseball vs. Football on the issue of ''roids'' & other illegal substances

[FlockOfSeagulls]

Doesn`t it seem like baseball players take a far worse '' beating '' in the media about illegal substances than guys in pro football do?

Football players get suspended for 4 games then come back and rarely does anyone ever even bring it up. Where with MLB guys it seems as if it will ruin that players career or at least tarnish it significantly.

My feeling as to why that is so is because baseball is the ULTIMATE numbers driven game and the big records are such a part of the fabric of baseball. IT also seems like we almost expect football players to try to get an advantage because the game is so much more physical.


Does baseball get a bad rap where football seems to almost get a free ride in the eyes of the media

Thats because people know how corrupt football is

They are paid to be genetic malformed freaks. They are paid to destroy their bodies both in sport and out of the sport. Hell, taking BMI studies, they considered Thomas Jones as dangerously Obese. Yes this is based on muscle but goes with my statement of malformed freaks

Baseball is still considered the gentlemans game. Its not based on who is stronger, its based on who has the greater talent. In football its about speed and strength most of the time and anyone can play it. Anyone can tackle and anyone can run the ball but it takes pure talent to hit a 95 mph baseball with a small bat.

Also the average nfl career is like 4-6 yrs and health expectancy is like 60 yrs for a nfl player.
