I understand you view on it and don't necessarily disagree, but my thought is focus on the players overcoming of medical conditions. As it stands, by saying a person has drug addiction history presents a opportunity for social stigma. He overcame the obstacles, yes and that probably made him a better person, but saying his mother struggled paints her in a negative light while trying to promote him in a positive light. She may be the best person ever, did many great things, and had a crutch that many others suffer from too. Struggling with addiction doesn’t mean you are a bad person till you get over it, it just means you have a problem and in many cases you adapt to get through life with it. Hopefully one day you get through it as a better person, but that doesn't make you a bad person in between. It is still up to the individual to make that story. Either way it is personal medical information and shouldn’t be shared
