Would You Hire This Man?
In baseball news, Barry Bonds is having problems finding a job this year.
San Francisco didn’t bring back the over-priced-steriod-pumping-cheater-ego-maniac and now no one else wants to sign him either. For the first time in a long time I can honestly say baseball might be doing something right in the midst of the steriod scandal years. Apparently no one wants to hire the steriod poster boy. Opening day is right around the corner, and Bonds remains unsigned.
I wish I could say that’s the end of the story, but I can’t.
Instead I turn my attention to the Players Association Chief, Donald Fehr, who should be ashamed of himself. Fehr says he and his staff are looking into possible collusion against Barry Bonds. In a statement released by the Players Association earlier this week Fehr says, “We always look at the free-agent markets every year and make judgments about them, if we come to the conclusion with respect to any player that there’s a matter worth pursuing, we’ll pursue it.”
Excuse me!? Ummm, Mr. Fehr it’s called free agency for a reason. You spin the wheel take a chance and if no one wants to hire you, well, I guess you hit the unemployment line. Did Barry Bonds, or do you Mr. Fehr, really expect anyone to hire a man who’s cheated his way through baseball? And lets not forget the fact that Bonds was also indicted in November on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. Those charges come from his 2003 grand jury testimony in which he denied knowingly using illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
The bottom line is this. Barry Bonds, the cheater poster boy for steriod use in Major League Baseball is washed up. No one wants to hire him, and he certainly does not deserve a job just because he’s a baseball player. Maybe it’s time for Barry Bonds to realize he needs to trade in his bat and get ready for some baseball possibly behind bars.
Just my two cents,
