I'm a sports fan, particularly baseball. But why do the players get tested a LOT and we don't?

[Stinky The Clown]

Really. What the fuck?

1. Cuz.....{wait for it}..........

money!

[MontanaMama]

2. I know.

Baseball is the only sport I love. This isn’t okay. The fact that they get tested a lot and we can’t get a test if we need one is ridiculous.

3. The great god sports.

[RockRaven]

4. Money, money, money...

That's the only reason.

5. Money, yes. But also, the players have a union.

Having a union protects you.

6. They are doing more to entertain me than I am doing

for them. And they are taking a risk to do it, while I stay home for the most part.

I'm okay with it, but really, we shouldn't be pitting citizens against each other. We should have more tests.

Let me add, I don't necessarily think the baseball players should be prioritized over bus drivers or grocery store workers and so on, but I don't care if they get in the line ahead of me.

7. Stinky, old buddy, I'm not a sports fan and even I know those guys are worth a LOT more $$$$...

...than you and me.

And that’s the truth.

8. Because they have a union and because the owners pay for it

Some places test their staff a lot, on their own dime.

No one wants to pay for the rest of us.

9. Many replies citing money as the issue. It is not. It is the tests themselves.

Civilians wait crazy long for results - when they can actually GET tested - but sports teams get them over and over again and have fast results.

THAT is the basis of my What The Fuck.
