re: Tyrann Mathieu contemplated suicide while behind bars.

quote:

---

His life was almost ruined and he almost killed himself over weed. I'm no fan of the stuff, but it's weed. He didn't rape, steal, kill, maim, hate crime, or anything. I know the argument that it is banned substance, but why is it banned in the first place or why so much weight given to its use by him and athletes and so little to everyone else in the world.
Tyrann lost a lot, but really think about being in jail in that state of mind arrested at a private residence not driving or danger to the rest of the world over that. And branded a thug and worse. I hate the compare it to alcohol argument, but let's do. Drinking at home no problem driving drunk problem. It is the same thing or even if not it caused far more damage than the crime. Now that said team rules need abided by, but almost losing a life over this was way overboard.
