This guy is just plain retarded. He believes that if Braun loses his appeal process and is indeed guilty, he should be allowed to keep his MVP award. This is absolute bullshit. He cites America's willingness to forgive and the fact that Barry Bonds or Mark Mcgwire were never stripped of any awards.
Nothing but retarded reasons there. Baseball now knows how to deal with steroids so the precident needs to be set now. What kind of message is that sent to players "Hey do steroids, then win the MVP in that same season and then we will just give you 50 games but keep the award bro".
The thing that pisses me off even more is this author is a voter for the MVP award.
