A-Rod Inanity

Long long ago, A-Rod cemented his probably well-deserved reputation as a giant douche, so nobody really gives that much of a fuck what happens to him now.  The biggest issue, though, is that Bud Selig is surely a way bigger douche than A-Rod could aspire to be in a 1000 lifetimes.  Why is MLB making such a shit show out of this?  The league and the players have a pretty comprehensive labor agreement, so why not give up on the half-baked theatrics and just let the process play itself out?  Cuz A-Rod is a giant douche?  Cuz Selig is a way bigger douche?
