Major League Baseball players should be required to speak with steroid investigators. Baseball is doing the investigation, it's against the rules to dope up, so yeah. If they don't have anything to hide, whats the big deal, right?

There should be fewer postseason bowl games in college football. die BCS - die!

The PGA should institute a drug-testing policy. Drugs? Golfers don't use drugs .. honor code .. like the one Rush Limbaugh had (or has)?? This is getting out of hand anyway, I really don't care what professional sports "athletes" do today. Sad, but true. Besides pong, golf has got to be one of the most

Baseball is America's national pastime. I'm old school I guess ... actually based on current statistics, I think eating junk food and obesity is America's national pastime.

Bill Russell is the NBA's greatest center of all time. Russell was great. I think Wilt the Stilt is right up there as well. There was nothing like the Bill and Wilt contests! But I think you forgot one of the best defensive centers ever to play the game (besides Russell) Nate Thurmond (if only Nate the Great

Trophy hunting should be illegal. All modern hunting should be banned, with the possible exception of those indigenous groups that still depend on hunting to sustain their way of life and survival.

The Mitchell Report will have no effect on Major League Baseball. Baseball should regulate baseball.

Major League Baseball should not use instant replay to review umpires' decisions. It will destroy the game - it is already a slow paced game, this will slow it down even further. This is one situation where human judgment should prevail over technology for the good of the game. I feel the same about all other sports (games) where techn

Sports are a crucial part of functioning society. In ancient times, probably even before organization civilization, sports played a role in limiting man's aggression and channeling into more constructive endeavors rather than that of destruction and war. It still does so today and even more needed as our

Players named in the Mitchell Report should not be penalized. All? co-equally, as if they are all equally guilty? No. They must be fairly dealt with, on an individual basis and given due process. Look, this is a franchised, internal sport by sport issue and the individuals who are involved need to be held accountabl

It is appropriate for network television to broadcast mixed martial arts fights. Again with the censorship argument. It is a free market economy. If there is a market for it and it is not illegal or considered by the majority as unethical or immoral, then it is free game. Control over who watches that crap is up to the family (in the

Barry Bonds' home record should not have an asterisk. His use of steroids was never "proven". Imagine if we were to apply this reasoning to all public figures ... asterisks all over the place!!!

Congress should not investigate the alleged steroid use in Major League Baseball. It is a sports, internal issue. It is not illegal to use steroids in this country so let the sports industry police their own.

The World Series should not be played at a neutral, warm-weather site. It should stand as it is. The events of this year were out of the ordinary. They should work on the schedule, put a few more double-headers back into the lineup and few other areas could be tweaked as well just to get the world series pushed back a bit. B

Michael Phelps is not the greatest Olympic athlete of all time. Historical perspective. Great athletes have risen up throughout history when time and events call for their greatness. Their accomplishments are great, and remain with us as barriers they have broken and the new thresholds they have created - the athlete,

The BCS is not an effective method for determining the national champion. For sure not - it is an elitist hierarchy controlled by the haves and "big-ticket" market schools.

College football should not institute a playoff system. It is already to cumbersome, takes up way to much time, taking away from their studies and personal life as it is, and with a playoff system it could make college football a year round TV spectacle .. oh wait, maybe that is the point.

Title IX should apply to college sports. I believe so, yes but more specifically gender equality in protected.
