Chargers signing veteran OL Matt Slauson per my sources.

Too bad the league is keeping us from watching one of the most talented players of his era with archaic rules. Josh Gordon is a joy to watch. The league is less good without him.

Too bad the player is keeping us from watching him. Give up the wacky tabacky for the next 10 years. Allow football fans to watch you perform on the field. Make millions and retire to Jamaica and smoke the rest of your life away.

He gets to choose his own path. So does the league. They are being a bunch of bitches. And you may judge Josh Gordon as being stupid. Future Josh Gordon may judge past Josh Gordon as stupid. But that doesn't change anything about what the league should be about - the best players playing football.

The best players will play as long as they can follow the rules. It's not that hard. There are no trick questions. Just some rules to follow. Like them or not they're what they are. Suck if buttercup and get back on the field.

They are not "what they are." They are completely and 100% changeable. Like I said, they are being a bunch of bitches instead.

The NFLPA is a limp dick.

Currently they are what they are. If I had to give up my left testicle to play pro sports I would. These players that wish to keep smoking are weak minded and selfish. It doesn't matter what your stand point on this subject is. They are the rules. Military and public servants can't smoke either just to mention a few occupations. Stop with the excuses and your political agenda.

It's not about you and what you are willing to suffer for monetary gain.

They are currently the rules. Just how returning freed slaves to the south was a rule. Just how turning over the Jews in your house was a rule. Every rule is malleable. It's nothing more than some people and some paper standing behind each and every one.

This country is founded on history and yes rules do change. Sometimes for better, sometimes from worse. However, during the incidents you mentioned until the laws were changed it was ILLEGAL.
If these kids want to be stupid and throw away multi-million $ football careers more power to them. What makes it worse is they know when the tests are coming.
But hey keep making excuses for them.

Where do you see an excuse?

Slaves could smoke weed and football players can't. That's what you support.

I like to follow the law, good, bad or indifferent. Call me crazy.
Go peddle your agenda somewhere else, please.

You're crazy. Asking NFL players to not smoke weed is clearly akin to the Holocaust or slavery. You're basically Hitler.

Good. The world needs some of you that know your role, take your place and STFU.

There are also those of us who help enforce, help draft, help teach the laws and rules this country was/is founded on. We're also the quiet majority that effect change when needed.

Then there is the group you likely belong to? The what have you done for me lately moron group. The give me everything welfare group of video gamers. Good luck, you'll need it.

LOL WTF?

Please go on and explain to us all how cannabis prohibition is a rule the country was founded on....

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Tempted to bring my politics into this, but will decline for now.

You're missing the point and continually redirected the conversation. Put down the pipe for a second. It's quite simple. You're feeling is there are rules you think are dumb. So therefore they shouldn't be a rule. My point is don't break rules. Don't be an anarchist. If the people want a law changed they will vote to change it. Not just sit by and take it like you refeerred to. It's what makes a democracy.
Not the what have you done for me lately gen. I know this is too much for you to understand. Go play a video game, smoke a bowl and go to taco bell.

Good points...those are pretty much the same thing...

Speeding laws weren't laws the country was built on either, maybe we should throw those out too.

This post has so much wrong with it I won't be able to respond to each and every one of your delusions. So sorry ahead of time for that. The NFL is not a democracy. "The people" don't get to vote on it. At times in the past bad rules have been broken and better rules have been created. That is the nature of the world. I've given you examples up thread.
