Barry Bonds: Punished for Being A Strong Black Man?

23 Dec

OVER 100 MILLION dollars was spent over the past 8 years investing former baseball player Barry Bonds on allegations that he used steroids.

Well, the jury is in…

There is no damned evidence showing that Bonds ever knowingly took steroids or any other performance enhancing drugs. None. Nada. Zip.

One Response to Barry Bonds: Punished for Being A Strong Black Man?

    Barry Bonds’ court trouble has nothing to do with him being a strong black man. In fact he has always been the complete opposite. Sure he hit more home runs than anyone else in the history of the sport, but it ends there.

    He is far from a positive black role model in today’s society.

    Throughout his 22 year career he constantly treated people like he was better than them. I am not talking athletically, I am referring to his every day attitude to everyone around him.

    He constantly scorned children refusing to sign autographs, shake hands, or take photographs.

    Sports Illustrated said this about him…”For 22 years, Bonds was a bad person. A terrible person. An absolute nightmare. Yet because he was The Barry Bonds, we all were required to kiss his feet, soothe his ego and carefully tiptoe toward his leather clubhouse recliner, where we would grovel for a moment’s worth of attention (and, 99 percent of the time, be met with a swift, cold dismissal) in the shadow of his Jupiter-sized head.”

    If anything, Barry Bonds is an anti-hero.

    Not someone that should be touted as a positive black man.
