How many fans actually care if a player did steroids Not many care that you got busted. But they do care about a guy who lied and threw people under the bus to keep his lie. Ryan Braun has become like Lance Armstrong. It shows a person's character.

Braun's statement: “As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it is has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization. I am very grateful for the support I have received from players, ownership and the fans in Milwaukee and around the country. Finally, I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed – all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates. I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love.” The face of the franchise, folks. So Braun what about that guy who got fired because of you? You know, the guy who had the sample with the positive test? You going to apologize to him?

Yeah, I don't really give a shit if people used PED's or not. Baseball players have been finding ways to cheat or get an edge for decades, from greenies to sheep testosterone. Just the way Braun got off, followed by someone getting fired because of it, was really sleazy.

Ryan Braun has become like Lance Armstrong. It shows a person's character. Yep, I have no problem with players using PEDs. I don't like what Braun did to the tester who caught him though. That's the issue, he got off on a technicality and ruined someone's career.

Braun cut a deal with MLB, according to TJ Quinn.
@buster_ESPN if true A-Rod should never play again. Worse than Pete Rose.

Rick Sutcliffe is positively going off on steroid users in baseball. The conversation is a bit awkward, considering the guy sitting next to him is Aaron Boone, whose brother Bret hit 37 home runs in 2001 and 35 in 2003, at the age of 32 and 34, and never in his career hit more than 25 home runs in a season.

I'm in the group that honestly doesn't care how much baseball players cheat. I just hate that someone lost their job because of him.

It's this self-righteous indignation combined with either nostalgia goggles for a by-gone era that never existed or willful ignorance.

How many fans actually care if a player did steroids I think this one is a bigger deal because he fought so hard to prove he did nothing wrong. I don't really care if they do it, if they suspend you just deal with it and move on like Bartolo Colon did Rockcats celebrated Christmas today
