The Mitchell Report

The Mitchell Report: one of the most controversial documents ever released in sports. This report was basically the result of an investigation into the players who had used steroids at a particular time. When the report came out, there were complaints from corners concerning the fact that George Mitchell, the main person behind the whole thing, was in some way linked to the Boston Red Sox(the best baseball team in my opinion) and current World Series champions. Having names like the great Barry Bonds, the great Roger Clemens and other like players is just something that I still find incomprehensible. I tend to want to stand behind these players but who is a fan to believe, the well loved athlete or George Mitchell, the man some people have come to hate? Also, the issue that keep arising is the fact that the Congress keeps getting involved in the issues of baseball while they should be focusing on things more important. I chose this topic for my paper because it has a lot to do with rhetoric.
