morgan_greywolf's Journal: 1 out of 5 in poll think Congress should investigate MLB

I know you guys don't care much for sports, and this isn't really about sports, but about American politics, and I find it fascinating. One in five people in a recent Bay News 9 poll actually think that Congress should be handling the issue of performance enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball.

I know the other 80 percent think that MLB should handle it, but damn. 19%. The number is staggering -- think about it. One in five think that the government should be handling something that is clearly an internal affair of a private business -- specifically Major League Baseball.

If it were discovered that half of Microsoft's employees were on methamphetamines, do you think that Congress would be holding hearings? No, of course not. They'd expect Microsoft to handle it.

Why should Major League Baseball be any different?
