Hearings Without Listening

Hearings Without Listening by Will Carroll

In the continuing war on drugs in baseball, Thursday's Congressional hearings sought and found a new low. Instead of facts, we got emotional appeals of dubious quality. Instead of getting facts onto the record, any attempt at a substantive discussion was shouted down by politicians more interested in their meaningless memories and ESPN face time than they were in advancing the debate. Near the end, Rep. Paul Kanjorski (R-PA) asked Commissioner Bud Selig if he'd learned anything from the hearing. Selig answered, dancing around the topic but in essence, saying "no, I didn't."

I watched every minute of the hearings - they were a joke - a bunch of fat overweight congressmen and women asking elite athletes about steroids - didnt they ever hear of obesity?
