I have decided it is time for Bud to go, especially after his comments damning Arod for steroids, totally ignoring the fact he was overseeing the game while all this controversy went out of control.
Selig was named the official commissioner in 1998 – since then, what are his significant accomplishments? Interleague play(something many players and fans have thought is played out), two expansion franchisees, he made the All-star game the determining factor in home-field advantage for the World Series, the World Baseball Classic, created the MLB network years after the NFL, NBA, and YANKEES all had their own channels, and came up with a steroid policy that called for a 10 game suspension for the first positive test.
Oh yeah, and he let the All-star game end in a tie – remember that image? Its what I think of when I see Bud…
This whole steroid mess happened under his watch, and he is giving no leadership in this time of need, just trying to shield himself from fault.
Well, sorry Bud. When you are the boss and you can’t control your workers, you get fired. You don’t take a three million dollar raise when Roger Goodell, the head of the most powerful sport in America, is taking a 20% pay cut.
If the NFL is any model, we need a younger, stronger leader who isn’t afraid to take charge, make a decision and lead this league into the future. Bud isn’t in touch with his product or his customers, and it is time to make a change. America’s pastime is the country’s 3rd most popular sport, and there has to be someone to blame for that.
