Finally, Klansmen and Nazis have a league of their own. At least, this may be the only major fan-base for a new league, the “All-American Basketball Alliance” (AABA) that has been circulating press releases about its start-up in the South. The league will be only open to caucasian (white) players:

Major League Baseball (MLB) appears to be hurting financially. The signs were there, or more correctly, notthere, from the time that we landed at the airport in Indianapolis, site of this year’s Baseball Winter Meetings, which concluded on Thursday.

(Opinion) Commissioner Allan Huber (Bud) Selig should resign. This isn’t the first time anyone has said that, but, in the wake of a drug-suspension-shaving scandal that we uncovered at MLN Sports over the last 2-1/2 months, I am hoping that it will be the last.
As we reported in our investigative feature story ”At What Cost Peace,” appearing in the current edition of SZ (www.mlnsports.com), there are no rules covering drug use in baseball.
None.
Zero. Read the rest of this entry »

Is there a First Amendment right to cover sports news?
American sports do not seem like the place for a show-down on the freedom of the press, but that is exactly why the unraveling of the First Amendment began there. Media purists from the “real” news side did not see the slippery slope sliding, just as they missed the impact of the Internet.

I really do not want to hear ANYONE from the cushy private boxes to the bleachers complain about steroid use in the professional game of baseball anymore.
Minor league fans have just affirmed what the owners of baseball know: You run your mouths about steroids, but the minute that a fallen major league superstar shows up in your town, your principles go out the window, the ticket window to be exact, in the form of a loud “Ka-CHING” of the club’s cash registers.

Sadly, Major League Baseball (MLB) is plagued with addiction, but it is not the players who are hooked on performance-enhancing substances (PES); It is the fans who are addicted to the homerun ball, and the MLB owners who are hooked to the power and money that flows from the real addiction driving this ends-justify-the-means version of professional baseball.

Let us finally put to rest one myth: Ted Williams was not frozen by his evil son, John Henry Williams.
That is a bit of lore cooked up by the sports media that was marching behind Sport Illustrated‘s Tom Verducci back in the day with their pitchforks and torches.
They did not like the idea of their baseball hero’s head stored frozen in a milk jug waiting for its guest appearance on Futurama.
