Quote:Bender just did a great job of highlighting it in an above post and the Pacman deal was in THE OLD CBA. So I'm not going to be redundant. I do however have to point out your hypocrisy, you say that you have no problem with players smoking pot, but that they need to follow the rules. BOOM. You just conceited the argument right there, the rule needs to be changed, it is NOT Blackmon's fault. Yes, it is the leagues fault that their punishments are draconian and out of touch and yes it is a problem that needs to be addressed. You make excuses for murders and rapists. A young man in a brutal profession that smokes a plant on his own time does not deserve the punishment of having his livelihood and dreams snatched from him because of some pseudo politically correct agenda that the league has. Funny they don't hold their owners to the same standard.

I have no moral or ethical issues with somebody smoking marijuana, and fully support law change regarding its use. I do have an issue with a player pissing away millions of dollars so he can get drunk and drive around, and smoke pot, while letting down his teammates, his family, his fans, and the team that invested MILLIONS of dollars in him.


Rules are rules. And if my paycheck looked like Blackmon's, you can bet your [BLEEP] I'd have no problem following them.


As for me making excuses for murderers and rapists- not sure what you are even alluding to, but I'll just assume you had one too many Zimas last night, because that is just stupid.
