But He Won't Give the Money Back

McGwire regrets using steroids, but I'm sure he won't be giving the money back.

I'm not generally a fan of "reparations," as it is pretty difficult to calculate who is owed what after the fact. But it could be said the fans were ripped off by baseball during the steroid era and the players and owners got money as a result. Then again, did the fans really get ripped off? They enjoyed themselves watching McGwire hit those 70 home runs. Of course, that's sort of like telling Elin Nordegren she shouldn't of taken a 9-iron to Tiger's face because all-in-all they had a good domestic life despite the cheating.
