Bonds receives death threats...

Just waitig to see how the media turns this into a 'race' thing...

Granted it is a horrible thing.. but I doubt that race has one single solitary thing to do with this....

Bonds tells radio station he receives death threats - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Am I the ONLY one who could care less about this whole steroid thing. IMO I could care less, baseball was great during the so called steroid era. LOL I feel bad that the players are unknowingly putting themselves at a SERIOUS medical risk but as far as this being such a widespread controversy.... I could care less. There has been cheating going on 4EVER and there always will be. The attention that this is getting is just crazy....

And as far as this being racially driven, well there are so indicator that this is. There are of plenty of players who have been known to be on steroids, but NO ONE HAS BEEN CRUSHED like Bonds.... Part of it has to do with the fact that he is a jackass but a part of IMO is because he is black and arrogant. I think people are making a double standard between him and just about everyone else.

The jackass part and the steroids part and the arrogant part... yep... I agree those are all part ofthe hatred... as for being black, I say not in the least

I am not at all surprised by this, it's a shame he's getting the threats but he is a cheater.

Baseballs entire history is full of cheaters... IMO Bonds is just a new breed

Indeed. And as much as I hate the Giants, and don't care much for Bonds either, I dislike scapegoating even more.
