How many millions of dollars has the government spent hunting Barry Bonds?

Question

and past baseball steroid users?

I guess this is just yet another example of government that leaves you scratching your head and wondering.....

I really believe this country has lost its mind....so so so many examples. Almost everything the government does is seemingly the exact wrong thing to be doing.

Answer 1

Professional sports are multi-billion dollar businesses that depend entirely on the willingness of fans to buy into the hype...anything that threatens that "faith" threatens to bring down an entire industry...

Do you know why people are so willing to pay millions of dollars to one person just to entertain us, be it A-Rod or Matt Damon? Entertainment dollars are even bigger now because the U.S. no longer believes in making anything...

Example: think about how much your family and friends spend on entertainment (travel, internet, TV, Music, etc.)...Now how much of what delivers that entertainment to you was made in the USA (cars, mp3 players, computers, TVs, satellite dishes, etc.)?

Get the picture? If that which entertains us falters, what will our economy fall back on....Our technology? Our currency?

Answer 2

Probably about 400M.

They have been investigating him since he broke Mark McGuire's record in 2001. But they have not investigated Mark McGuire, and Roger Clemons.

That shows how racist the Justice System really is.

Answer 3

I wish baseball would have cleaned this up without the government. I'm not sure what the government's interest is in this situation...drug/steroid trafficking?

Answer 4

Anabolic Steroids are banned substances. Barry broke the law.

Answer 5

Yes, I kinda understand.
Bill Clinton spent millions and millions more dollars trying to destroy Bill Gates, than he spent on catching his wanna be friend, Osama bin Laden.
