Interview Question :: The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds

This question was asked earlier by me, but of course I got 2 answers because nobody could come up with anything negative to say, so Ill ask it again. Thank you to the 2 guys that answered it earlier also.

Yes i hate the Steelers, but lets be FAIR and ask this question. Everyone says New England cheated. We never hear that the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70s cheat because of steroids, YET, bring up Barry Bonds, he gets absolutely no respect because of his "steroid use"? Because he "cheated". But the same people hating Bonds are loving the Steelers? Ok, now the argument "yea but everyone used steroids then in the 70s". Ok, well then, apply that logic to MLB. Obviously everyone in MLB was using them also, but you still hate Bonds? That logic also applies to the Patriots. If you honestly think the Pats were the only team using the "spy gate" tactics your not a true NFL fan. Have you heard coaches like Marv Levy (the mans about 80 years old) say teams have been taking signs from other teams for years? That goes unnoticed though just so you have a reason to hate the Patriots. This is why the majority of sports fans are closed minded and only believe what they want to believe and they only listen to what the media tells them. I know this will be nothing but a bash fest towards me though, but thats fine. I have just listed the facts and I can not be proven wrong because of it. Facts are facts and thats the bottom line. I do NOT like the Patriots, but I am a Bonds supporter UNTILL they prove he abused steroids. IF they have all this proof, then please put the man away, its only been what, ohhhhhh 3, 4 years now?

Answers to "The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds"

RE: The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds?
Bonds is the best ballplayer to ever live look up his numbers, steroids or not. The reason the Feds went after him for perjury is the same reasonthey go after everyone else for perjury, that being no concrete evidence. The fact that he allegedly lied gives them an excuse to try him. Gotti allegedly murdered or ordered the murders of some people but yet they could prove none of that they went after him for perjury with a not so credible witness, sound familiar? try Roger Clemens again perjury! he said he wasnt at someones house when he was. and the witness again someone trying to avoid jail, how credible is that? and the final straw is that MLB knew this was going on yet Bonds is the only one crucified. Wasnt the juiced ball the theory for all the HRs, they knew all along. As for the NFL well let me throw two names at you Gastineau and Alzado, the poster boys. cant come down hard on them cause its clear everyone else was on the stuff too.

RE: The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds?
well, most of us think the the same of Johnson and Al Davis, that you think of the Steelers. roids' were bad, but not illegal then, which was wrong, but still true, so it doesn't carry the same "stigma", plus the fact that MOST teams did it then, The Steel Curtain weren't the only boys. Look at the dirty playing of the Raiders back then, and THEIR attitude, TRYING to hurt people ! And, do you really think that the "C-Boys" were really innocent, either, don't think so ! They had their own boys with the "Roid Rage" too

RE: The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds?
Simple question, simple answer: Roids were not illegal in the early '70's and their use was league wide, not just by the Steelers. Also, most teams made use of amphetamines, lidocaine to numb joint injuries, numerous narcotics dispensed by team physicians to the injured players to permit them to play, and so on. All these practices, while definitely not in the best interests of the player's health, were not deemed illegal or excessive by the league and carried no penalty, with the exception of shortening the player's careers and lives' Bonds usage of these drugs did occur at a time when they were a banned substance, hence adding to his notoriety, plus he lied about his actions repeatedly, making matters even worse. Most fans. especially here in Pittsburgh, saw the disdain Bonds showed to the team, fans and public in general, thereby causing a great deal of the animosity directed towards him Last, The Pats were warned repeatedly about their actions in seasons before they were caught yet again breaking the now official league policy banning the practice of filming game procedures. They responded by lying and attempting to place blame on an underling, stating his actions did not reflect on the team, but in fact, he was acting on orders of the staff & management. While it may or may not be true that other teams used the same illegal methods, the Pats were caught doing so and continually gave the impression that they were above such mundane issues such as having to follow the rules. That attitude will usually foster a great deal of hostility towards a team and, and in this case, it certainly did.

RE: The Steelers of the 70s and steroids/ Barry Bonds?
Well, I have also heard about this. But steroids were common among all football teams in the 1970's and 1980's. I don't think the Steelers were the only guilty party, here. In that era, 300-pound plus linemen were just seen as fat guys. NFL conditioning programs did not run year-round as they do today. So how did a 250 pound guard succeed back then? Cheating with 'roids. Doesn't make it right, but sadly that's the way things were. Just my view on the topic.
