Suspending Gordon is biting their nose off to spite their face I agree that weed should be legal and I've been known to be a fan. But you're an idiot if you know the policy, already been suspended once, and do it again. He should get suspended for being an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I agree that weed should be legal and I've been known to be a fan. But you're an idiot if you know the policy, already been suspended once, and do it again. He should get suspended for being an idiot. This is funny. That should be the formal cause. Not violation of policy, suspended for idiocy! Lov it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 How long before cocaine violations are relaxed? It was once used for it's medicinal value as well. This is a slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't have as much of an issue with it's occasional use, but given marijuana's effect on personal motivation, it does concern me just a bit regarding someone like our new guy Richardson, not to mention Henderson, as far as grit and motivation to be in good physical condition as its effects may also be difficult to manage their eating habits....I'm not saying that in light of all the new legislation that has been passed and pending and certainly being moved into current discussion marijuana penalties in the NFL shouldn't be reduced and dealt with differently than other drugs / performance enhancers, but the "slippery slope" argument is usually one I adhere to in nearly every situation and am concerned about its long-term effects on the players to manage it appropriately, instead of abusing it....just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingon Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 How long before cocaine violations are relaxed? It was once used for it's medicinal value as well. This is a slippery slope. Cocaine is still used medicinally as is Methamphetamine. As far as I know the NFL can't restrict their use if prescribed by a Doctor. The difference with marijuana is that it's illegal federally and cannot be legally prescribed. Think about that for a second, you can get cocaine and meth from your doctor.

Dear Lord, what an awful comparison. Also, it shows how stupid drug policies are. Coke is out of your system in a few days. Weed last for a month. It's why coke is the white collar drug of choice.
