This suspension says more about the NFL than it does about Ricky Williams. The NFL is still trapped in a pre- 21st century mindset about marijuana and civil rights. What a NFL player decides to do off the field that doesn't interfere with his or any other player's performance isn't any of the league's damn business. Either they're misinformed about the consequences of marijuana use or else they just enjoy being health nazi's. Yes, I know his latest drug policy violation has nothing to do with marijuana, but Williams wouldn't be in the position he's in today if it weren't for his previous three failed piss tests.
Agree. While I'm a pro-glaucoma herbal-remedy-guy, and while I think it's ridiculous that the NFL tests for a substance well known to make you fat, dumb, and slow (which I can attest to all three), I have no sympathy for players that get caught. As an NFL player, you KNOW the rules of the game, they're pretty simple and pretty easy to get around, if you choose to try to skirt those rules and get caught, you're flat out dumb, or just too damned stoned too often.stcjones said:Appreciate your opinion.......but the NFL DOES have a drug policy, and there are drugs on it that CAN NOT be taken by any NFL player. Williams of all people KNEW that....and is a moron to smoke pot (although I heard it was something other than pot this time) or take any "drugs" that were deemed illegal by the NFL.
