Logged in just to say that I appreciate this mindset and post. I think we're trending (very slowly) in this direction as a society, and it is much needed.This is all so mind-numbingly stupid.
Josh Gordon wins big in one genetic lottery (physical) and loses badly in another (brain chemistry). I suspect he'd rather they were reversed. He's operating in a society that shames mental health troubles and criminalizes self-medication with just about anything not developed by big pharma. His employer is about 30 years behind the science (when they aren't distorting science) and treats a performance-reducing drug similarly to performance-enhancing, body distorting drugs. He needs structure, routine, and the stress reduction of physical activity. But, no, let's cast him out of the tribe where he can get these things instead.
Also pumped to hear anything about Gordon, was starting to get a little worried. Has the potential to be one of the better receivers in the league if all goes well.
