I’m doing it again. I’m posting about some superfluous bullshit when there are more important things in the world. In my defense, I will make two points. First, this is my blog so I can say whatever I want to say and two, I think the fact that the New York Daily News is upset because Alex Rodriguez isn’t crying about using steroids is stupid. 

So here are the facts. In case you have been living under a rock, you have undoubtedly heard that Alex Rodriguez has admitted that he used steroids before. OK. That means that he cheated. Is he the first? Nope! Is he the last? Hell no! Is this major news? Well…..the thing is, some people would like to believe that all athletes do what they do without cheating. Some do. Some don’t. They are still human after all. The problem is that now people are complaining because Alex isn’t running around crying about the fact that he did it. He just had a stadium named after him at the University of Miami. On Saturday, he gave a speech there and people were a little upset that he made light of the fact that he used steroids. Well what do you expect???

I think it is so funny that people think that athletes and actors and singers are somehow super human and don’t have the normal emotions and feelings that we all have. They are just human. They aren’t gods. The fuck up like you. They get caught like you. They do good things like you. The wipe their butts like you. They eat like you. They make more money than you, but there are likely many non-celebrities that do that too. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to make mistakes and get over it like you do? Think about it. 

To expect Alex to go around crying and asking for forgiveness all the time is stupid. I mean damn. What do people want…blood? The man admitted that he did it - which in and of itself is AMAZING (Roger Clemens….Barry Bonds…..that damn Marion Jones……others…..). How many athletes have we watched lie like dogs and then look like idiots after they were caught???? So many…too many! He admitted that he did something wrong. He admitted that he is less than perfect. Isn’t he entitled to laugh a little? Lets look at this objectively. We now know that he wasn’t a perfect husband and he wasn’t a perfect baseball player. Do you know anyone who isn’t a perfect husband or wife and isn’t perfect at work?

People need to stop acting like they are perfect or like athletes and celebrities SHOULD be perfect. He is a cheater, but acting like he should be sad because of it all the time is just idiotic and stupid. Aren’t there bigger issues in the world???? I mean really! The people who should be walking around crying and apologizing include the CEOs of the credit card companies that have, for no good reason, changed the terms of people who have been good, faithful and loyal customers. The people who SHOULD be walking around crying and apologizing include the CEOs of the oil companies who have taken in record profits even with the rest of the company going into a deep recession. The people who SHOULD be walking around crying and apologizing are people who have 14 babies while having no source of income, no marriage (not that a marriage means a good relationship…its just a good starting point…well if you are in the group of people who can get married….but that is another post), living at home with your parents, collecting welfare checks in a 3 bedroom home. (That was a lot to write in one breath :-) )

Alex Rodriguez may have been a dumb ass for doing what he did, but talking about it now as if he should be crying and boo-hooing everytime he speaks because he did something wrong is just stupid! He did it, he admitted it and get the fuck over it!
