Steroids=Excitement

Lots of people claim that steroids are bad for sports, that they ruin the "sanctity" of them and make them a cheap gimmick, but I don't see it that way. I see steroids, or any other performance enhancing drug, as a way to build excitement about a sport, especially boring ones like baseball. If we look back, some of the more exciting players in recent history have been found to use steroids.
My first example of steroids adding entertainment is the home run chase between Mark Mcgwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998. This marked the return of baseball as an exciting sport because you saw two power houses going for the single season home run record and they were going hit for hit until the last game. In the end Sammy Sosa won it and the country was on fire with all the home runs that it seemed hard that anything could make people hate that time. Then it came out that both players had used steroids and now everyone says how horrible that is. It's not horrible, people enjoyed it and had a great time with it, so who cares if they juiced? It's just a game isn't it?

The next example has come a little more recently. Ryan Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, just failed a drug test. Braun played for one of the more exciting teams this year, the Milwaukee Brewers. He was hitting home run after home run and the fans were loving it! People were saying how he is the future of baseball and the best player in the league, until now that everyone knows he took steroids. Now people demand that he forfeit the MVP award and face a possible fifty game suspension.

People should get over steroids in sports because they make things more fun. If Mark and Sammy didn't "roid" it up then no one would watch baseball now and if Ryan didn't then no one would see the awesome moments that made this year so enjoyable. So I say to the people, steroids = excitement.
