God bless Jesse
Looks like Jesse Jackson is popping up again to defend the poor, down-trodden Barry Bonds saying Major League Baseball failed to protect Bonds after a fan threw a syringe at him. Forgive me if I think this is hilarious. I'm so glad Jesse Jackson is around to stand up for victims like Barry Bonds. It does my heart good to know that someone is out there defending ridiculously wealthy athletes who've managed to involve themselves in steroid scandels. Life's just not fair for them.

Posted by: Jen F at April 5, 2006 02:46 PMAs much as I dislike Jesse Jackson, he does have a point.
Here in Philly, there's been a few people who have thrown snowballs, batteries, beer cans/trash out on the field and they've gotten caught. Of course the media won't let you forget that, but since it happened in San Diego, a "laid-back west coast" town I guess that makes it okay.
But a syringe? What if it wasn't sterlized and actually hit him?
I thought security was supposed to be "beefed up" at sporting events since they are a national security risk? I guess not in San Diego.
Its all fun and games until the Giants go on the road and play some east coast teams and this happens. Watch how the media reponse changes.
