Roger Clemens was a professional athlete - an
entertainer.Nothing he did professionally impacts me or 99+% of the other people in this country. In a few more years, he's going to be very little more than the subject of some sports triva games. And if he DID use some drugs - so what? So long as we - the taxpayers - aren't on the hook for treating him when his internal organs dissolve, so what?
And what was the trial for? LYING TO CONGRESS. It's beyond preposterous to criminalize alleged lies told to a body largely comprised of pathological liars who shouldn't even have been wasting OUR time and money on a nothing issue like steroids and such in the entertainment (pro sports) industry in the first place.
Better they should investigate prior drug use in elected officials - I'd be a lot more concerned if (for example) someone with budgetary authority, foreign policy responsibilities, and access to nuclear launch codes were an admitted pot smoking drunken coke head earlier in his career.
Oh oh, just a minute . . .
