If you go and smack the crap out of your wife and the judge gives you probation, your job can't fire you, so I'm not sure what action you're looking for?
As for "bigger and faster" actually, people have gotten bigger and faster in almost every sport and as Newz said above, it has a lot to do with training.
High School sports teams start hitting the weights as freshman, some kids start working out as young as 10yrs old.
The increase in stnegth/speed etc... has more to do w/ modern workour routines. Mickey Mantle did 12oz curls, todays top athletes treat their body like a temple, not just workouts but diet.

I'm sorry that is bullshit. All you are doing is once again abrogating your responsibility. Why the hell should we laud drug takers, wife-beaters and racists as heros and yet at the same time treat a player who pretends to moon as being the most evil player out.
Joe Buck claimed it was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen, obviously ignoring the lauding of fans and media of Pete Rose (gambler), Michael Pittman (wife beater), Lawrence Taylor (drug taker), John Rocker (racist). This is to give an example of each. I'm sure that if I gave it more than 30 seconds thought I could come up with a much longer list of people who have done far worse than pretend to ( & not even really) bare his arse.
Once again you are demonstrating the fucked up priorities of sports fans (Irrespective of nation). A wife beating, drug taking and racism are ok but pretending to moon is 'the most disgusting thing'.
BCWWF what exactly has Americans cheating got to do with anything? Who mentioned nationality? You do yourself a diservice with such stupid remarks.
A simple comparison highlights the point I am trying to convey: We are not talking about the 1970s when players like Bilentnikoff used to smoke on the sideline. This is the late 1980s.

Are you seriously trying to claim that in 15 years the weight of an average lineman will increase by 40-60lbs purely on the basis of 'better training'? If you believe that then you really do have your head in the sand about drug abuse?
I hate to say this but this argument is going the same way as when I suggested that Bonds record should have an asteriks and you claimed that it was perfectly reasonable to claim that Bonds's improved stats were simply the result of better conditioning and eating more broccoli and we all know how much credibility your arguments have these days...
You are entitled to believe what you want and that's fine but you'd better get ready to do your RIP's and 'respect threads' in about 10 years time when players start to keel over at the same rate as wrestlers.
