BTW, it's hilarious that you refer to Bonds' steroid use as an "off the field" issue.

WTF are you talking about? Yes that is EXACTLY what this is about.

I don't know how you still aren't getting the original point made by Rerun. No one was equating their actions!!!
The comparison was to how the actions overshadowed the accomplishments.
You can argue the fact that what Tyson did was worse all day long, it doesn't change the fact that NO ONE said their actions were comparable, only that the effect those actions had on overshadowing the accomplishments could be similar.
