Why do fans looks the other way?

There a thread of hypocrisy that weaves its way through the world of sports that no one seems willing to address. Why is it that fans are so outraged when they find out about players in MLB using performing enhancing drugs and yet look the other way when it comes to players in the NFL? When a baseball player tests positive for steroids there are cries of suspension, banning the player from the hall of fame, abolishing the player's statistics from the record books, and Congressional hearings. Yet when the public discovers that an NFL player has been suspended for steroids the typical questions are "When's the soonest he can come back and play for my team?" and "How is this going to impact my fantasy football league?" So why the hypocrisy? Let's not kid ourselves, steroids in the NFL are just as rampant as they are in MLB, probably even more so. Except for an extremely select few, no person can physically resemble some of the players we see storming the fields on Sunday afternoons without some kind of enhancement. I think the reason we see this hypocrisy is while baseball may be America's past time, football is America's passion. No fan of football wants to see that passion fade to a dull ember. American football fans have become like a 12 year old still believing there is Santa Claus even when all his friends have shown him evidence to the contrary. Fans want aerial shows, long touchdowns, bone crushing blocks, and what the public wants the players are willing to provide. And if the tools they use to provide the product are less than legal well we just can't be bothered. I say "we" because I include myself in the conversation. I'm just as culpable as anyone else. But I say we have to hold the NFL to a higher standard and root out steroids. Will it happen? More than likely not because green is the color everyone in the business cherishes the most. Let me give you a scary statistic: In 1966 the offensive line for the Green Bay Packers (the first Superbowl champion) weighed an average of 243 pounds. In 2002 the offensive line for the SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles division III football team weighed an average of 290 lbs. That's astonishing. The product has become bigger, faster, and stronger over time. We could draw a line in the sand and try to put a stop to this mess. Unfortunately some pharmacology expert would probably just find away to hide it with a masking agent.
