More voices are noticing the fundamental unfairness that MLB is focusing on A-Rod

From Dave Zirin at The Nation.

What actions would the late Marvin Miller, the man who built the MLBPA as a combative fighting union, undertake? Miller's starting point would be, I believe, to mercilessly call out the hypocrisy of Bud Selig’s case against A-Rod. He would say, as Dan Dickey (@hoopsnerd) pointed out on twitter, that there is something bizarre about a situation where “MLB paid a drug dealer for his info [and] then considered a lifetime ban for ARod for trying to pay a drug dealer for his info.” He would also remark upon how utterly rich it is for Bud Selig to be lecturing anyone about “the best interests of the game” when it comes to performance enhancing drugs. He would wonder why the commissioner who was in charge as fully-loaded syringes were passed around like party favors in locker rooms in the 1990s, is now trusted to “clean up the game”. He would ask why there are no team penalties for steroid use. He would acidly question why owners aren’t fined or sanctioned if their clubhouses become PED clinics. He would wonder why the profits from baseball’s steroid era flow to ownership but the penalties fall upon the players.

By the way, think Billy Madden or Mike Lupica would ever ask such questions?
