Different standards for Goodell, Selig?

Mike Imrem recently posted a column stating that Roger Goodell should no longer run the NFL because of his mishandling of the Ray Rice incident.

Also in the same column, Imrem stated that "Bud Selig never should have continued running Major League Baseball after being the sultan of steroids during the 1990s". Well now, isn't that interesting of Imrem to put that in print about Selig?

Imrem has been a staunch supporter of putting the steroid users (Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, etc.) into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Yet he chastises Bud Selig for not doing enough about the steroid issue.

Does Imrem think it would be OK for a person to hire a ghost writer to write a novel, and then that same person is given the Nobel Prize for literature?

Would it be OK with Imrem to award the Kentucky Derby to the winning horse, which was doped up just before the race? Was it OK with Imrem to award all those Olympic medals to the Olympic German Women's Swimming Team, who were all doped up on steroids?

Time and time again, Imrem has been pushing for McGwire and the rest of the steroid users (and corked bat users) to get into the HOF. They were cheaters. Cheaters should receive no award or acclaim for their deeds.

And for Mike Imrem to support these cheaters only tells me it is time for him to walk.
