Steriod Externality

It is obvious many if not the majority of NFL players are on steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. Beyond the obvious ethical issues of cheating, the issue of being role-models, and long term health questions, there is another problem - they are making the game too violent. Not only are the guys who take the 'roids shrinking their balls and giving themselves teenager-like acne, the speed and strength these drugs collectively give to the players are causing the game to be become too fast and too violent. Did you see how hard Favre and Warner were getting hit by the Saints defenders? Everyone knows I sports hate Favre, but he was taking an absolute beating out there in the 1st quarter. Safeties were flying in on delayed blitzes - it looked like a car accident. Combine astroturf, the good pads, the raw talent, and mix in the juice, and these guys are going too fast. They modified the rules to protect the QB and the pass interference rules to protect the receivers, but these are bad fixes to bigger problem. A) they are not good for the flow of the game and b) they are bandaid solutions to larger problems of inhuman speed and strength caused by performance enhancing drugs.
