idk. it all seems really ticky tacky and the NFL just handing down what they want at will.

Prater had gotten 2 DUIs and ignored the treatment plan several times, which would put him in stage 3. however the nfl never officially stated what "stage" he was in.

quote:

the NFL alleges a pattern in Prater of ignoring the treatment plan entirely and/or failing tests when they are given.

To reach the year-long suspension with which the NFL initially threatened Prater, someone would have to fail out of Stage 3 of the program by either testing positive or failing to comply with testing, which can occur up to 10 times in a month both in-season and out-of-season.


this whole situation is just clouded with misinformation. it just seems like the NFL has a really bad system in handing out suspensions.

Agreed but I don't see the relevance in comparing Prater's suspension to Gordon's. Weed and alcohol are in different substance categories and should be treated accordingly. Everyone seems intent on comparing Praters lesser punishment to Gordon when the situations aren't equal.
