Just curious about your guys opinion on Braun. Is he getting this amount of hate because of Kemp not getting the MVP, just because of the way he is, or because he's just the most recent big named player to get caught? I guess I would assume a combination of all 3. Thing is we're sitting over here admiring Bonds when we all know he was juicing. Is that because his story was years ago, the hush died down, so now we're back to admiring how good he was? This biogenesis lab guy has said what there were 90 names? And now he's talking about PED's in the NBA, NCAA, MMA, Tennis ect. I'm asking because this is more than likely sooo much bigger than Braun. Him telling the truth leads me to beleive so. It sucks that the superstar on my team cheated so as a fan I gotta deal with that for now on but that's honestly why it doesn't bother me as much as it should.
Something else that I was thinking about was yea Braun lied...but as far as I know everyone who has ever been accused of such has denied it right away. Braun actually had the balls to go admit it. We're all crucifying him cause he lied yet he is one of the first if not the first guy in his prime to admit it. Isn't that somewhat commendable? Because of that he may be helping the cause. Obviously he deserves hate for cheating but I think its ironic that everyone's hating him for lying yet he's the only one to tell the truth. Is he the first MLB star to admit it in his prime? I'm not sure.
The reactions to this in Milwaukee are very interesting by the way.
