Watching this cheating baseball player on TV proclaiming his “love of the game“, just gave me a real question to present him:

Instead of the 211 game suspension etc.   How about he be given an option of giving up his earnings, forgo endorsements, and keep a salary of only $250k per year, while giving the rest to the MLB for programs set up toward children’s sports related educational endeavors?

Then we’d really find out if he “respected” and “loved the game”, or if it was something else….
NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case – the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago.
Ryan Braun’s 65-game suspension last month and previous punishments bring to 18 the total number of players disciplined for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs.
The harshest penalty was reserved for Rodriguez, a three-time Most Valuable Player and baseball’s highest-paid star. His suspension covers 211 games. Rodriguez has until Thursday to appeal, and if he does, he will remain eligible to play until a decision by the arbitrator.   (read more)
