On the Barry Bonds situation.
Is Barry being persecuted or is justice being served? Your opinions? Why do you feel that way?

And now since I have broken my silence let me put my two cents in on this subject.....
Also hey Mstina ;D
I don't feel the least bit sorry for Barry Bonds. It is persecution - don't get me wrong. But he is a big azz baby and from a lot of accounts not a very nice person in general.
And why do Black people get some fame or notoriety and think they can do whatever the hell they want like white people? Do they think they won't be persecuted because of their status? Did they not learn from such examples as OJ, Kobe, and Michael Jackson? Bottom line is money or not, status or not, your azz is still Black and the authorities can make your life difficult they are gonna do just that. And that's exactly what has happened with Barry Bonds. He wasn't catering to all that media crap anyway so he was already cast as standoffish by the powers that be. Now he has just given them fuel for the fire and they are taking it.
If Barry wasn't so greedy about getting them records and trying to compete, if he had had a mere code of morals that he could have lived with and stuck to he wouldn't be in this mess. When you are a celebrity I would think that you have to keep your nose clean more than the common person that nobody knows. He was not a leader he was a follower and now he's prolly gonna pay for that.

I agree with you on this one sassy. People make decisions and they have to pay for those decisions at some point in their lives. I believe that they are attempting to persecute Bonds but I don't feel sorry for him because he brought it on himself.

I don't feel sorry for anybody who is a multi millionaire. Whether or not they acknowledge his homeruns as legit, I could care less. Most athletes are taking some kind of supplement to help enhance their performance and to stay healthy. When it's all said and done barry and his family will be alright. He may have some personal demons to fight off, but in reality its just a homerun record.

I bet Barry Bonds cries all the way to the bank.
thesassyone what the heck does OJ have to do with Barry Bonds? One is a murderer and the other a baseball star. No connection at all!
