Of course, A-Rod himself in his lawsuit against the MLB questioned Selig's authority to impose this type of a ban under the terms of the CBA and JDA so I'm guessing that is where you are pulling that from: http://www.scribd.com/doc/173358290/A-Rod-Lawsuit
At any rate, I do get that Deadspin has a bit more of an anti-Selig bias than most other sources, but that's only because Selig really, really sucks as a commissioner. |
There was another article from June or so when the scandal first broke that dealt with Ryan Braun (and to a lesser extent A-Rod) that really questioned if MLB had the authority to suspend them and why that length. In the article you posted, they answered their own question.
I get that Deadspin has a bias and I don't even mind the anti-Selig bias, but I do think that sometimes they let their bias get in the way of their reporting and that is not a good thing.
