THE HUFFINGTON POST: DOES MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NEED A TRUE AND RECONCILLIATION COMMISSION?
Roger Abrams looks at the lies and betrayals surrounding the investigation into performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball. He believes that Baseball should create a Truth and Reconciliation Commission modeled after the one created in South Africa. It would be a joint effort of the owners and the players union. Each side would have representatives on the commission, and they would select a neutral chair. The federal government should supply the Commission with the list of those who tested positive so the Commission can accomplish its goal — to end once and for all baseball’s latest infamy.
Question to the Blogosphere: Can you think of other scenarios in which Truth and Reconciliation Commission might serve as a useful tool? What mutual interests do you think the owners and the players union have? Do you think this is an appropriate tactic to use in this case? What outside actors might influence the players and the owners to come together?
