boyst Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 They can't be high during the game because they'd have to smoke in the stadium, a non-smoking facility.exactly! This guy gets it!
Augie Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 no. You're mistaken. They can't show up drunk to the stadium before a game because they have to drive to the stadium and its illegal to drive drunk! That's why tailgating was invented!

Where there's a will, there's a way. The question is, who is that stupid? Because you CAN get high does NOT mean you MUST get high. (Or drunk.)
Royale with Cheese Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I have already explained it clearly multiple times. Read the thread promo before you post, I dont condone any substance that a player uses that will alter his ability and put others in jeopardy. There is no double standard. Players cant stop smoking marijuana with their careers on the line, lifetime bans, and millions of dollars of cash but they are gojng to refrain from being under the influence of it during game time??? Sounds like a teenagers promise... They can easily be under the influence with other substances as well. That's the double standard. It doesn't matter if you personally condone it or not...that's not what we're talking about. Why aren't you as concerned if the player is under the influence of other drugs but specifically pointing out weed? Other posters are seeing the double standard but you for some reason can't....either on purpose or not. How naive are you to think that weed isn't already readily available? You think allowing it opens flood gates? You already stated players are still doing it now and it's not allowed... no. You're mistaken. They can't show up drunk to the stadium before a game because they have to drive to the stadium and its illegal to drive drunk! And in some areas, you can't buy alcohol on Sunday's!

I had one person tell me he doesn't want weed to be legal because he doesn't want his doctor operating on him high.
xRUSHx Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 the pain pills they give these players are way more harmful than weed. some of them are basically heroin in pill formSpeak the truth, big pharma wants it's big expensive drugs that don't work to be used so they can keep people sick and needing more drugs. Weed is proven to be the drug that helps people in so many ways. #Legalize

I have said repeatedly I dont agree with it. I have no double standard. You have no argument with me. You have an argument with the league and state federal laws. I havent typed nor will you see me type one is better than the other. Any substance that alters ones ability on the field that either positive or negative puts other people at danger.

Sounds like a teenagers promise... If that were truly the case, then what stops them from doing that already? Pot is readily available everywhere. Players are obviously smoking already. So, why isn't that happening now? Or are you saying that it is? Why don't they show up to games drunk right now? It's legal.

4_kidd_4 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 When I was doing the restaurant thing, showing up baked was pretty much a given. That was my 20's. 20 years later, I work in healthcare, attention to detail is key. That's the last place I'd want to be high. It's a personality/maturity/responsibility issue. Grass was just as illegal when I was bartending. I just didn't care that much about potentially messing up a Jack and Coke.

No liquor after 8 or Sundays at ABC stores for the state.
Malazan Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 DeMaurice Smith is one of the worst things to happen to American Football. His disastrous leadership has not provided a good counterpoint to the league and is going to bite everyone in the ass. Not to mention his idiotic strategy to focus CBA negotiations primarily on money at the expense of anything else and to then sue the league later. The players need to dump him so some balance can be brought back to the negotiations between the NFL and NFLPA
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) I live in a dry county. No liquor after 8 or Sundays at ABC stores for the state. I lived in a dry county outside of Dallas. Nothing prevents you from going down the road a bit to the next county to get it done. (Allen to Denton or Allen to Richardson) The screwed up part of that, up until the summer of 2002 you could still drive with an open container in your car and an open container and guns in your truck.

Royale with Cheese Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I live in a dry county. No liquor after 8 or Sundays at ABC stores for the state. I was in a dry county in Alabama when I was in college. The next county was 15 minutes away so we jus drove there. The county I live in Georgia didn't allow alcohol purchases on Sundays. So people either went to the bars or bought from a store Saturday night. I never understood the thought process behind not being able purchase alcohol on Sundays. I can't drink from home but can go into my car, drink at a bar and then drive back home. It was like promoting drinking and driving.
iinii Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 NFLPA files grievance over pain pill policies in NFL. Says they are violating policies and even federal law with blatant over prescription of pain pills - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2708636-nflpa-files-cba-violation-grievance-against-nfl-over-use-of-painkillers (if anyone can tell me why bleacher report links never work, or how to get them to work, I'd be grateful. I only have this problem with BR links...) 'Offensive lineman Kyle Turley, who played nearly a decade in the NFL before retiring in 2007, spoke with Vice Sports about "playing numb" because of painkillers: 'Meanwhile, a group called the Gridiron Cannabis Coalition is working to advocate marijuana as a "safer and more effective treatment" than prescription drugs to handle the day-to-day pain that comes from playing professional football.' Here is another related link on prescription painkiller abuse problems in the NFL. It's a good read for anyone interested - https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/nfl-abuse-of-painkillers-and-other-drugs-described-in-court-filings/2017/03/09/be1a71d8-035a-11e7-ad5b-d22680e18d10_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.feaa1cd87d73 Proves my point. Turley is high on pain killers during the game. These guys are dopamine/adreline/thrill seeking junkies. You can piss and moan all day about the money and danger to teammates but this is Football and the human factor is never going away.
