Letter: Salaries, not steroids, are the real shockers

What is the big deal about players using steroids to get all beefed up to entertain the paying public?

It was recently reported that the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez negotiated a 10-year, $275 million contract. That is what is unfair, and downright obscene, considering how the state of our education system could be improved with the money these entertainers are being paid.

For that kind of money, a lot of people would be more than happy to grow an extra pair of legs. In fact, it should be a requirement.
