Congress is involved in the steroids issue b/c of this nations youth. They see men who have abused their bodies for huge amounts of fame and riches, and a clear message needs to be sent to dissuade middle and high school athletes from taking these same shortcuts. Also... these "interferences" by Congress into baseball only continue when the cheaters lie under oath in federal trials. Congress is forced to pursue prosecution in these instances if for no other reason than to protect the sanctity of the trial process that these men think thgey are "above".
But the Goodell thing seems like a reach... steroids are illegal, filming another teams signals is not.
Politicians love to sidestep the issue of "legislating morality". Isn't that what this, as well as the steroid case are doing?
