Libertarian Whining about the Baseball Hearings.

Is barely able to make itself heard above the noise being generated by the Schiavo case but it is there.

For the life of me, please explain to me why Baseball should not be forced to clean itself up? This organization has had up to now essentially no policy on fighting the use of controlled substances within its ranks. Do you want baseball monitoring itself or the Federal government?

This is well within the purview of governmental powers if it isn't then what is the sense of having any laws?

Some may say baseball just a game therefore the government is wasting its time and to that I say try again! Baseball is big business and it also has anti-trust exemption two more reasons why this is a bigger deal than the critics charge.

A sub-organization in baseball (the Player's Union) wants to keep illegal activities hidden and MLB was not doing anything about those hidden activities. Sooner or later the parent organization has to take charge.
