The owners love Barry Bonds. His homeruns sell millions of tickets and aggragate eyeballs for advertisers. However, Congress leaned on baseball about it's attitude towards steroids so Bud Selig was the designated grump, showing concern about illegal drugs, while the other owners high fived in the back room. The kicker is Barry Bonds probably shaved 20 years off his life with steroids which the owners will pocket through a reduced pension.
Really is America's or the world's factory owners had their choice we would all be taking steroids and growth hormones and amphetamines every day so we could work harder without tiring and die quicker to save on pensions. Way to go Barry. You are modeling the ideal worker of the 21st century.
