On the merits of this alone, we have a victory for the players. Players shouldn't have to be limited to Vicodin, Percocet or Oxycontin for pain management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 So is this all they got? $5.5M increase per team and being able to smoke dope? NFLPA must be the worst union ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonKennedy Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I can see how it's a bad look to have players using recreational drugs associated with slacker mentality and what have you but how much weight does that really have when Aaron Rodgers can play a large chunk of the 2018 season high off his gourd on painkillers?

Smart move by the owners to say "we accept this CBA" knowing the players won't, which would turn the players into the bad guys in the eyes of the casual sports fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. The narrative then shifts to "these millionaire players are spoiled and I'm not gonna get my football because they're spoiled!" I hope the general population sees beyond this. But, I don't expect much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I am glad that the NFL would be taking this seriously for a change. THC/Marijuana shouldn't be a banned substance due to the health benefits that the player base needs so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players getting busted for smoking in their spare time is what's controversial about that rule. Players are allowed to drink as much as they like but nobody's gonna let them come out and play piss drunk either. Tell that to Mike Vanderjact or however you spell his name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most of them are uninformed buffoons in mental decline with a serf-like ideology (the average person). And well... the other reason.. …. can be inferred. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For consuming it in your own free time and being sober when you do show up to work? That's just being petty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
