Because openly mocking an addict with a problem trying to get clean, and relapsing, then TRYING AGAIN is a pretty ****ed up thing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Josh Gordon was handed drugs by his HS and College coaches. A lot more than just Josh Gordon, failed Josh Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's marijuana. You have to understand why people aren't sympathetic here. Moreover, Gordon doesn't read this board, so who cares? Plenty of worse things are mocked here.

Because it's A) not just marijuana and he's openly admitted to that it requires literally a 5 second google search and B) This board and it's ability to signal boost it is utterly irrelevant. Mocking addicts for being addicts is a ****ed up thing to do to people. Period. It doesn't matter what all else, these are people with a problem, especially people, like Josh Gordon, who are just trying to get help and to get better.

So you root for him to fail because you're tired of... what? Hearing random people talk about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care what Gordon does or doesn't do. But yea, I'll laugh at some of the jokes mocking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIS, if people would just take the time to learn about the situation, it would have been obvious that he was actually serious about everything this time. And it's showing. He got re-instated and now he just has to stay clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was serious the time before that when he wrote that Player's Tribune article, until he wasn't. Actions speak louder than words. We'll talk when he manages to get and stay on the field for more than a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time I heard that. This would be the first time that he didn't end up suspended again after I heard that. You're not going to get the benefit of the doubt, IDOG. Accept it and move on.

candyman93 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Tlbf has a good heart, but I disagree with him. I grew up around junkies and addicts. I stopped caring about their condition after years of their BS. It sucks what’s wrong with them, but empathy dries up at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I hope he's totally serious about getting his life turned around and he's not going to blow yet another chance. he has a daughter now and he's been granted a great opportunity. he needs to make this work and stay off the drugs not just for himself, but for her too. and if he does fail then he has no one to blame but himself.
