"I really don't have anything against soccer. But I have to laugh when some get into arguments about prefering one sport over another based on the behavior of certain pro organizations."

My point exactly. I'm not the one bashing a sport because some corruption goes on. That was you. It happens....and comparing MLB with soccer as a whole is inane. You're comparing one league with thousands of leagues all across the world. If pulled stories from every nation in the world there'd be plenty of corruption stories to go around...except nobody but Americans and Japanese care about baseball so that's not really possible.

So compare MLB's stance on discipline to the English Premier League or FIFA's International guidelines. I don't think MLB is going to be handing down 9 month bans for missing a drug test anytime soon. Their attitude against cheating just isn't as strong as the EPL's.

That being said, I'm pumped about the baseball season. Play ball.

Venezuelans
Mexicans
Canadians

Like I said. AMERICANS...meaning people from America. Like Mexicans. They're from Central America. Venezuelans are from South America. Canada is just above the United States in North America.

You could include the Cubans and the Dominacans as Latin Americans...but I could have been more specific.

So the only one I missed was Korea. Toss them in there too then.

The only people who care about baseball are Japanese, Korean, and American.
