Testosterone injections in sports

Not that I think injecting anything into our athletes is a good idea and testosterone is the last thing I think athletes should be taking, but today's news DOES bring up a topic that I think has the potential to be very merry.

Estrogen injections.

Just like the rest of the crappiness in the world--war, violence, rape, Frenchmen head-butting Italians-- inequity in sports is largely due to testosterone already. Not only do male sports figures get paid more and get more exposure than women (though that will always be the case), its this rage, this incredible desire to kill the opponent, not just beat him, that makes sports so dicey.

Wouldn't it be nicer if instead of celebrating players smacking each other hard, and painfully, on the ass, they squeezed? Or even better said, "Dawg, I think all those squats in the gym have paid off. Your bottom is so perky." If instead of boxers vowing to--and at times succeeding--bite off his opponents ears, he hit only in the stomach to make sure that no future brain injury or tooth loss would ensue. If they considered that his opponent probably didn't have dental insurance, because it's so expensive and hard to get it even though we ALL should have it since gingivitis is the leading cause of all tooth decay, wouldn't sports be a better place?

Less anger, less aggression, less blood, fewer injuries. More compliments, more goals let in (just to be nice), better outfits that bunched less around the thighs. I love it. I'm going to call the MLB today and see if they'd consider adding estrogen to their LONG list of legal injectable drugs.

** The only sport I think should be barred from using estrogen is soccer. They're pansies enough already.
