Is The Anger Towards Bonds Racial?

bonds should have known that they were going to come at him because they came at some of the best players in the mlb and they put there behinds on blast real bad too the point that it humiliated them in the public media and in front of fans they messed with my guy sammy sosa and he hit more runs then barry but it's going to always be an issue if they know how you get down they are going to put you out there before a few years ago bonds didn't hit the way way he has been hitting what a lot of these players don't get in there heads is that you have a lot of fans that looks up too them and if they hear about them doing it they are going to think that it's cool for them too do that but in reality they are not looking at the repocussion behind that it might cause them there life or there careers so barry it's not personal but other people have a lot riding on this you are telling children not to do drugs but they see it from all of there rolemodels,so bonds you kicked yourself in the butt,still got much love for ya!

I agree. This is a referendum on his personality, his arrogance and the way he's treated people. The feds are going after him likes he's Tony Montana from Scarface, not some athlete who decided to juice himself up. That's the issue I have -- and I don't think it's about race, though it can come into play somewhat in the reaction of some people.

No, it should be not racial, but some people in the media have raised that issue.

It's about him as a person, he breaking a hollowed record and his arrogance. If this had been "Nice Guy ballplayer" he would most likely have gotten a pass...

This wouldn't be an issue if he were not black they (the powerful people) would have swept it under the rug. They still haven't proven anything.They could have let it go. If you are white ask yourself this question, if you found out babe ruth used a corked bat for one of his home runs would you want the league to investigate and put an asterisk by his name? Doesn't any notice that if a back person is a star they just have to go bust him and make him the devil?

I will say this, if Barry was in the Ken Griffey mold,de, I am sure he would have gotten a pass and would not have been treated nearly as harsh...

hmmm.
I had no problem with Hank Aaron breaking the record.
or, is he less black than Barry "so what I cheated" Bonds?
The racial thing is bunk.
If He lied, he should do the time and have his accomplishments examined in that context.
