In response to "tainted or not, it was still history." by groiny

Not disagreeing on that point.

Posted by the liioulu with receipts (aka liioulu) Aug 2 '13, 13:28

just saying that Selig had reasons to ignore it and did.

Responses:

everyone ignored it, he knew then that the battle with the union was going to be epic. - groiny Aug 2, 13:30
He was ignoring it because of a) the 1994 Strike crippled baseball and b) the HR's were putting people in the seats -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 13:29 1
- Willfully ignoring it. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:34
Cuz Bonds didn't test positive in 2005, 2006, 2007.....so not showing up would have been.....suspect. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 13:29 11
- Way before that point Bonds had passed suspect and had become tainted. -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:33 10
  - Of course. But they had no 'proof'. He's not going to bypass the biggest number in sports for a suspicion. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 13:34 9
    - He chose not to. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:37 8
      - How could he confirm it? Bonds PASSED the tests when they counted. You overestimate the ability of MLB to enforce rules that few wanted enforced. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 13:47 5
        
        Uhm...no...I said that they chose to ignore the issue. -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:53 4
        
        as I mentioned yesterday(?), the NHL is now in this position. Do they proactively go after PED users or quietly wait until things happen that they hav - zork Aug 2, 13:56 1
        
        Hmm....never thought about that. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 14:07
        
        Becuase they had no positive test. They had nothing. He didn't bury his head in the sand in 2007. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 13:56 1
        
        Still making my point for me. -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:57
      - he would have gotten sued if he did anything on a "suspicion" - groiny Aug 2, 13:37 1
        
        That is part of my point. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:47
