When looking at this blog assignment and going into the research I decided to change to a topic that had a wider range of reactions. The new topic I have decided to talk about is steroids in professional sports, mainly the particular case of Alex Rodriguez.
My first source is an interview with A-Rod who came forward and admitted taking substances that were banned in early Feruary. Alex Rodriguez did this interview with Peter Gammons on February ninth and it came as a shock to many around the nation and world.
The next source comes as an article in the 'Daily News' by Bill Madden. The article is full of opinionated comments about the recent discoveries of Rodriguez and his actions.
The third source is a article from 'Sports Illustrated' by Joe Posnanski. The piece is a little different from the other article. It takes the opposing position, saying what Alex Rodriguez wasn't that bad and his actions were understandable.
I think this is a much easier topic to see the different argument and rhetoric involved than my
previous topic.
