I was checking my fantasy baseball team last night and saw an advertisement from ARALifestyle.com placed on one of my players pages. Now never mind the fact that I can’t stand having advertisements on a fantasy baseball site that I already pay to use, but given the backlash against HGH, Steroids and other performing enhancing drugs doesn’t CBS Sports have a moral obligation to monitor what kind of advertisements they are displaying on their website?
I mean isn’t an advertisement telling you to “Revitalize your health with human growth hormone.” and “New development builds muscle legally.” kind of the antithesis of what CBS Sports should stand for? Isn’t it hypocritical for CBS Sports to report on athletes getting suspended for using PED’s and then turn around and sell them indirectly on their website?
I think so.

Thanks for posting this – I saw the same set of ads over the summer, and commented on it on one of the Glogs. Couldn’t find that comment, but now I can use your link to point this out to Freeman on their site. Thanks!
(And yes, it’s ironic, if nothing else.)
