Goodell: No medical benefits from marijuana

Meanwhile, the opioid peddlers keep on successfully peddling, and addicting, and killing. Goodell's comments are idiotic, and I'm pretty sure he knows it. Music to my ears last night as the crowd in Philly repeatedly booed this clown with the relentlessness.
quote:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell delivered a strong statement against marijuana use Friday, telling ESPN Radio that the league sees no medical benefits and adding that "it may not be healthy for the players long-term." Goodell's comments, made in an interview with ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning, were consistent with his previous statements. But they came amid a federal lawsuit filed by more than 1,800 former players who say they suffered long-term health problems because of improper and deceptive prescription drug-distribution practices by NFL teams.
quote:
"I think you still have to look at a lot of aspects of marijuana use," Goodell said. "Is it something that can be negative to the health of our players? "Listen, you're ingesting smoke, so that's not usually a very positive thing that people would say. It does have addictive nature. There are a lot of compounds in marijuana that may not be healthy for the players long-term. All of those things have to be considered.

What a disingenuous liar. He sounds exactly like a politician. Big pharma money will make this hypocritical arse clown say anything.

Tell me about the medical benefits and lack of long term health effects from alcohol goodell, I'll hang up and listen.

Goodell is exactly like a political business man. Not surprised he said all this shite to keep players from using the healthier option of medicine.

In fairness, after going in dry on the players in the last CBA by taking a shitload of their money and rights just so they could have a shorter OTA period and an easier training camp, you didn't think he was just going to give this away, right?
The players will get weed in the next CBA but they will pay through the nose for it.

And every day a thousand Americans are treated for opiate overdoses from a drug that can kill you.
While 0.0 are treated for Marijuana use

Um...Rog, I don't think anyone is arguing it will help players long-term. The point is that it's probably better than team Doc handing out more pain killers than a West Virginia pill mill.
Oh, and I'm willing to bet money that long-term weed usage has a less deleterious effect on an individual's health than say....playing in the NFL.

It's really wild. I have a bottle of opioids on my desk right now that can frick me up to the moon and back and it's no big deal. If I smoked a single rip at home and took a piss test a week later I'd be fired.

Theres a good amount of medical marijauna patients in colorado that just eat edibles. There are other ways besides smoking. You got all sorts of edibles, from hard candy and gummies to cookies and oat meal bites. They have different kinds of powder you can mix with tea or coffee. shite they even make marijauna sodas now.

Sure but he's cool with all the players taking Vicodin...
Sure, that's not addicting.
"The trainers and the doctors used to go down the aisle and say, 'Who needs what?'" Turley said. "If you had something hurting and needed a painkiller to take the edge off so you could sleep that night, they made sure you had it.
A scientific study conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis found that retired NFL players misuse opioid pain medications at a rate more than four times that of the general population.
When asked about their prescription painkiller use while playing in the NFL, 52 percent of the retired players surveyed said they used prescription pain medication. Of those users, 71 percent admitted misusing the drugs during their playing days.
"I never took a Vicodin in college, ever," he said. "I didn't even know what Vicodin was until I got to the NFL."

I agree with Asshat that there may not be any health benefits.
But I don't think there are any health detriments either.

frick I hate him.
Does he not know marijuana can be ingested without smoking it? Does he not know it is not addictive?
Does he not know that opiate addiction is an epidemic and his players are suffering at a rate much higher than the general public?
What a clown show.
