What I've seen no mention of, and it kinda bothers me, is that there were at least 20, I've heard as many as 32 names implicated, some apparently with stronger evidence for doing worse things than Braun - Alex Rodriguez at the top of that list. But for some odd reason, maybe the fact that he is from a small market instead of New York City or whatever, he gets the penalty. Now I will allow for the possibility that they are just taking their time to get around to all of them, but they better NOT just leave it as is.
The other thing that seems pretty shitty is so many people piling on to Braun. I suppose not all Packer fans are automatically Brewer fans too, but come on! He is one of our own; He is paying the price for some kind of wrongdoing; Yeah, it's relatively light NOT COMPARED TO OTHER PEOPLE, but compared to what it might have been - THAT'S A GOOD THING for Brewer fans; for Wisconsin sports fans in general.
Also, there seems to be an automatic assumption that the thing he was not punished for last season is the thing he is now being punished for - and therefore he lied. Maybe ....... but if innocent until proven guilty applies basically half the sports world and a good share of the rest of the world - a lot of pretty bad people who go unpunished or get off lightly by accepting a deal for less when the evidence is shaky, then why is OUR star player thrown under the bus?
I say again, let him serve his time in peace, and then come back and finish out a great career in Milwaukee - and be damn thankful he isn't just another elitist asshole who feels the need to skip out to the east coast or west coast or where the hell ever.
