Does Barry Bond's race play a role in determing if he should be the home run king. Or do many people just dislike him because of the opinion that he allegedly took steroids and other performance enhancing drug paraphernalias to help him get to the top.

Bonds' race has absolutely NOTHING to do with his breaking the homerun record. People dislike hims because he admitted taking steroids in cream form. There is no "allegedly," he admitted to taking them. End of story. Fortunately, the homerun record will only be his until A-Rod shatters Bonds' record legitimately.

Race has nothing to do with this because, as many of you already mentioned, Hank Aaron is also African American. And I didn't really like Bonds before the whole streroids thing came up because he's really just an arrogant ******. He's out for himself, not for the game or for his teammates, and I think that many of his actions have spoken for that. The steroids thing just adds to it for me. When a guy responds with, I haven't failed a test, to a question of did you take steroids, doesn't come out and question any of the things listed in a huge book about the steroids controversy, then you have to figure it rings true. He, as well as many other players who continue and did in the past, that did take steroids, have disgraced what used to be a great game. Now you see a guy hit 50 in a seaon and wonder if he's on the juice! It's a sad state.

Race is not an issue. Otherwise someone would be saying something about Hank himself.
Bonds is not a very good team player, and has a history of steroid use. I don't think he deserves, to be considered in the same field as Hank. They played at a time where your ACTUAL skill got the records. Not beefed up bodies, tiny bats, and steroids.

From a statistical viewpoint he ought to quite probable be the best-ever chief in domicile runs. i'm going to settle for the actuality that he hit extra beneficial than people earlier. a commonly used rate participant might have retired while he ought to not play at a expert point adequate to extra acceptable his group. i'm going to by no potential admire Bonds as a individual, yet i can not help yet admire the numbers no remember how skewed. he's a participant that is going for inner maximum glory earlier the group, and his greed for inner maximum benefit makes you extremely rejoice with the group gamers interior the league. bear in recommendations, all time domicile run chief and single season domicile run chief do not make somebody the "domicile Run King". If I have been a participant interior the majors i might choose to be an all around participant that betters myself each and every pastime like Albert Pujols quite than a one dimensional domicile run hitter that can not field or run to save his existence. he's a house run hitter, not something extra. so a techniques as "cheating" is going, steroids can in simple terms build the physique, not plenty the flexibility. it may upload 20+ ft to an prolonged ball, yet once you do not have the flexibility to hit a ball it does not advance plenty. It replaced into not unlawful to take steroids for a expert baseball participant til the previous couple of years. definite, gamers took them for the previous couple of many years, and definite gamers skills more suitable. that's immoral now, yet those are an identical gamers that actual everyone praised while they have been enjoying so nicely. If Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa took them, and you praised them in 1998 and supported them then why do individuals of the media and the followers disprove the gamers plenty now? If it wasn't cheating then, than why are they categorized cheaters now? If Bonds did "cheat" he won't get persecuted except he's caught with unlawful components in his device after the guideline transformations. i don't shelter Bonds, and as much as i'm going to dislike him and how he's as a individual, in simple terms understand that he's a individual like me and you. And he's getting paid to play a pastime. how a lot of people accessible cheated in video games which incorporate your sibblings or acquaintances? All that concerns interior the top is that that's in simple terms a pastime on a miles better scale.

I'm white and I for one am glad that Barry broke the record. I think that the population of America is just in denial that the record now belongs to Barry. So toss that race s**t out the window.

It's the steroids, his ****** attitude.
