Are steroids bad for professional sports?

Sep 3, 2012 1:48 AM

If new off-shore sports leagues developed, free from steroid laws of America and other nations, would you watch? I'm a little intrigued by the notion of folks dunking on 15-foot-high basketball rims, or 7-foot-tall quarterbacks being pursued by 400 lb defensive-ends, and quarter-mile homeruns Of course we'll tell the kids to not try this at home...

You have asked the last three questions here....that is kind of spammy and generally frowned upon. Please pace yourself and check back in tomorrow. If I may speak for the community, we would appreciate that. :)

The steroids to which you refer are anabolic steroids. In your offshore dream-team fantasy, though, you vastly exagerate the drugs' capabilities. These substances are derivatives of testosterone and produce similar effects associated with being a male. Personally, I don't have a problem with athletes using them. Whatever achievements they make are accomplished by the human beings, not the drugs. I do think the drugs can take a toll on the body, but so does the sporting endeavor in which they are participating.

Saturday Night Live did a skit about the 'All Drug Olympics'. I'd like to see something like that (from a safe distance).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
