“The player they wanted to see put down was, of course, San Francisco Giants baseball star Barry Bonds, and it is hard to say what was more shocking: the call for his beheading or the near-collective rapture at the thought.
“This may have happened in Milwaukee, but it’s not the story of one city and one set of fans. It’s a continual happenstance in almost every baseball stadium not named AT&T Park. As Bonds marches undeterred toward that 756th homer, and the title of all-time home run king, the volume on the vitriol is being raised to disturbing heights.
TheStateOf . . . Bonds. I (J) can’t stand when people cry racism over Bonds’ treatment in the media. He’s a ‘roid freak and an arsehole - does anyone (black or white) outside of the Bay Area (and Damien) like Bonds? Nobody hated Emmit when he broke Payton’s record. The world hated on Roger Maris when he broke Babe’s record. Bonds ain’t suffering; he’s just a cheater, just like McGuire.
