re: Well the mystery solved as to why "Key" took a leave from the team

But every pothead you ever speak to states that weed doesnt impact you....

I here you , but I'm not just talking about breaking the rule. I'm talking about not having the self control to keep from breaking the rule. Sooo, what else will you have no self control over. Will you miss a meeting because you had to smoke weed, its a risk.

Thats a big if. That sums it up right there. Typically, weed comes with or causes issues. You may be functioning as I'm a functioning drinker. But doesnt make it ok to drink. Its still not a good thing. I'll never argue that just cuz I drink. And who knows how much better LT could have been if he had taken his life seriously. I think I remember him bottoming out at some point. That is not exactly a success story.

To be honest I dont give a rats azz what these players do. But if it was my money, my drug testing would be tougher than it is now. Josh Gordon and Leveon Bell are great players....but there are alot of great players. In a few years we wont know who those 2 guys are.

Ricky Williams was so baked, he wouldnt even take his helmet off for interviews. Dude was messed up and it showed in his career when he quit football to go smoke weed in his apartment. Sober players dont act that way.
Sober players are proven to be more reliable.

He is a grown man and choices have consequences.

Agree.

Beat his arse. Beat his arse. He got weed. He got weed.

Ricky Williams loved his weed more than playing football for millions of dollars. This decision was not only directly attributable to weed, but was made purposely in favor of weed.

In Martins case, yes I agree people can have issues without drugs being a factor. But that doesn lessen the "weed affect" issue. It only adds to it.

Well I think they should if they show up to practice drunk.

But to be honest, it will show in their performance, if they are drunk. They wont last long on any team.

And yes you run that risk no matter who you pick, so why compound it by adding an addictive drug to the mix, when you already know he is addicted.

you Keep saying it’s going to effect performance but constantly it is shown the only reason it effect performance is when they are suspended. It’s a self fullfilling prophesy.

If you are going to make a player choose between his career and something make sure that something is going to effect his job performance.

I now a lot of driven motivates people who smoke weed regularly.

A lot of people smoke at night to unwind.

it’s a dumb rule to ban a natural pain killer in a league that subscribes opioids like skittles.

It’s a dumb rule. I am Not saying you should be able to do whatever you want and ignore an employers dumb rules without repercussion, but an employer making the rule doesn’t make it less dumb.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE RULE IS DUMB.

What matters is this- Key was going to be a top draft pick, and he knew what the rule was.

It doesn't matter if the rule is "sign your name with your left foot on every Tuesday", if that is what you know you have to do in order to become rich, you do it.
