You don't care that he smokes dope or you don't care that he's too lazy and stupid to use good judgement? I don't care how good you are. If you're too freaking stupid to lay low a few weeks leading up to the biggest career day of your young life, I don't want you playing on my team. I'm not even sure I want you working the drive-thru window with hot beverages. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 He missed the majority if not all of the 2017 season because of a credit card scam he was apart of. The dude is not draftable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspending players for weed is stupid when other more dangerous and reprehensible behaviours are tolerated by the league. It's kabuki theater.

I believe they have a dilutional quota, as in, if we think you're pounding water for days to beat the test, you still get a positive result. 23 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: I don't care.

When John Boehner takes a lobbying job with a MJ company, you know even conservatives are having a $$$ "Green" revolution. Just wait until "Big Weed" starts making campaign contributions.

The psychophysiology of dependence actually results in a rewiring of the brain, especially in the centers that deal with inhibition and higher order functioning. Basically impulse control is faulty. If you asked these guys why throw away millions to smoke weed, they'd tell you they know it was stupid. They aren't incapable of understanding. I assume they, for the most part, care. They lack impulse control. They see it or think about it and they want it. Consequences in that moment be damned. It basically makes their brains dumb teenagers again.

Its definitely a layered and nuanced discussion that my one liner does little justice for.... all you wrote can be true. Impulse control, delayed gratification etc... are major. Also there are those that are self sabotaging and others that don’t actually want to be football players that said, there are a variety of reasons besides addiction that a kid would potentially blow this chance.

Absolutely right. Much like everything else, it's a multifactorial problem. There's certainly behavioral and genetic components at play as well. And social. It's why I'm personally against all psychotropics unless medically necessary. You never know if you have the right combo of personality and genetic susceptibility to have a bad outcome.

We've seen so many guys sacrifice millions to smoke it Perhaps a man's occupation shouldn't be making the choice of what he likes to do on his own time when it comes to recreation or relaxation. Most people will find a job that fits their preffered life style so when you say sacrafice millions, to do what, live the way they would like? We live in a society today thats putting professional athletes in contact with friends and family members enjoying the same means of unwinding as many of them would like to use on a daily basis. (legally) Getting your brains scrambled on a football field is not the only way to make millions... Edited April 25, 2018 by Figster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
