Has anyone been ever killed during a football game?

First of all, steroids are illegal in the United States. Second, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is used to heal injuries. However, it's real use is for people who have growth problems, not middle-age men hoping to heal quicker. Steroids and HGH are used to enhance performance (hence the term performance-enhancing drugs, or PEDs). Unlike football and other sports, baseball's history is very important. Anyone who uses PEDs is cheating. When someone like Barry Bonds does it, it's seen as a negative because he's tarnishing a record many people hold sacred.

On the side note, baseball is boring.

It isn't. It's only boring if you don't understand it.

People watch it to be entertained.
