Bronson Arroyo may be a maniac. He has horribly white boy corn rows that incite my uncontrollable laughter every time I see him, without fail. He also has admitted he took Andro, the now banned supplement and also admits he is probably on the infamous 2003 list because of it. Now, via ESPN Arroyo claims he still takes lots of unapproved but also unbanned supplements. He comes off as a total maniac in his reasoning but I must say he is on point in a lot of his claims. He argues that owners look the other way with regards to steroids as all they care about is making money and winning games. Most importantly making money...well maybe not if you're the owner of the Yankees. Arroyo gives us this gem at the end of the ESPN article:
"People don't own teams to lose money. If you ask any owner whether they would rather make $20 million and come in last place or lose $20 million and win a World Series, there's only one guy who honestly would take that championship: George Steinbrenner. Nobody else."
If you are a Yankee fan that has to make you incredibly happy. It sure does the trick for me! This is coming from a Red Sox World Championship Ring holder. In the Bronx there is a winning culture. It is our first priority and the bottom line of the organization. Don't get me wrong they don't mind making money (they've made roughly triple the revenue of the next closest team this year) but that is not their priority. Maybe Bronson isn't as crazy as I thought he was.
