Heart Damage is More Important than Shrinking Balls

RAWLINGS PRACTICE BASEBALL- DOZENAlexander Freund of Bleacher Report has his priorities straight. He thinks the public service ad created by The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Major League Baseball emphasizes the absolute wrong message when it comes to the harmful effects of steroid use.

I mean COME ON: We’ve already been told that steroids can cause strokes and heart attacks. But that’s nothing! THEY CAN ALSO SHRINK YOUR BALLS!

But wait, did you ever stop and think about the fact that YOU WON’T HAVE ANY BALLS TO SHRINK IF YOU’VE ALREADY DIED OF A HEART ATTACK?

If I had one suggestion for the people at drugfree.org, it would be to stop assuming that kids are so stupid. This idea that some teenager is going to stop taking steroids—not because you warned him about dying of a heart attack, but because it’s going to lower his sperm count—is just insane.
