Jesse Jackson says that Barry Bonds needs protection.
Jackson, a longtime civil rights leader and ex-presidential candidate, said Bonds has been treated unfairly by those who accept as fact accusations that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
“For some people, it’s about suspicion of drug use because they have no proof. For others, it’s a cover for other anger that they have,” Jackson said. “For example, the closer Hank Aaron got to Babe Ruth’s record, the more violence and hate mail he received.
I wonder if Hank Aaron would equate what happened to him with what has happened to Barry Bonds.
