Oh, I don't disagree, but I think the idea that criticism is only 
coming from sports writers is incorrect.  There are many ordinary 
sports fans (of all colors) who feel, well, cheated by the 
possibility that Barry Bonds' performance on the baseball field was 
enhanced (and, in fact, there is sound reason for their suspicion, 
despite nothing being proven in court).  Writing it off as a case of 
racism, as Walter and the articles he posted did, is offensive.
