People hate Bonds because he's a dick. Not because he's black.

Let's see here... The guy is an assto teammates/the media/fans, broke the most cherished record in American sports (both of them, actually), lied to a Grand Jury, and basically shit on the sport of baseball.

Yet people still say he's hated because he's black. Sigh...

I personally have no real issue with Bonds (I am a huge baseball fan and cheered him on to break the record just to watch everyone throw a fit over it) but he dug his own grave. Shit, Canseco, who is a friend of Clemens, never reported Roger as having done steroids, even under direct questioning about Clemens. By all reports, Roger is a friendly guy, making the media and fans less likely to target him so venomously.

In this case, too many people are confusing race issues with being an asshole.

I forgot when he said this, either it was for hitting the most home runs in a season or breaking the overall home run record, but a reporter asked his son how it felt knowing that his dad set such a milestone, and Bonds cut his son off and said something to the degree of why the reporter was talking to his kid since tonight was all about him.

Snuffing your kid like that makes you seem like a big...
