The laws are stupid, which is why they are changing. Many players smoke as an alternative to OPIATES, which are INFINITELY more harmful. Again, why does the NFL care with everything else going on?

Never said if it's a good or bad policy, just that it's a concern for the league because it's illegal. Not an opinion, that's a fact. When was the last time a player was suspended for failing a breathalyzer test by the league? They dont care because it's legal, so if they get drunk on one cares unless that leads to them doing something stupid while being drunk.

Mr. WEO Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 He's doing it all wrong. All he has to do is say he's "entering rehab" (e.g.: hanging out at Bruce's "lakefront villa"), and the team owner will let him sit right next to her on the team's charter. 1 minute ago, LSHMEAB said: Then my OPINION is that the NFL should concern themselves with more important things.
