So do the vast majority of Americans whose employers aren't in the nanny state business trying to control what their employees legally do on their PEDs. Guess you're greatful though to have that freedom of not being a multimillionaire athlete forced to follow such barbaric rules to stay employed. Congrats! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File it in the Josh Gordon category of "Gotta deal with unfortunate rules if you want to get paid millions in the NFL". Terrible rule?

Rule that is kind of stupid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league has a big enough problem with fans thinking its rigged Thinking it's rigged? It is rigged. Last year's officiating sealed plus the NFL sponsoring sports gambling sealed the deal for me. Against the Commanders game for example, the ref literally put his shoulder down and laid out a Viking who would have picked it off just for a Commander receiver to score on a long bomb. The NFL discontinuing its gambling sponsorship would be a great step into people not thinking its rigged, but that will never happened.

The other sport thing fine but man how stupid can they be? Its a rule collectively bargained and especially after the Ridley suspension?

Is it good practice to implement rules that don't really accomplish anything, other than catch violators on technicalities? ----- 1 hour ago, JaguarCrazy2832 said: The other sport thing fine but man how stupid can they be?

Quote File it in the Josh Gordon category of "Gotta deal with unfortunate rules if you want to get paid millions in the NFL". It ain't hard to not smoke weed if you are offered millions of dollars and we all knew it was a dumb rule at the time - but it's hard to feel sorry for someone making millions of dollars if you can't abide by the rules, regardless of how stupid they may seem to be on the surface.

Also, fans can now pretend that they would never do such a stupid thing in their early twenties because the amount of money you get paid prevents early 20s stupidity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
