You're making a lot of assumptions ...

 

A. That Blackmon doesnt' have copius amount of support and structure given to him by the league.  Every player is not only provided structure and help during his suspension, participating in it is mandated by the league if the player wants to resume his career.   Blackmon hasn't been cast out to fend for himself, he's given all the counseling and rehab on the league dime through sources pre-approved by the NFLPA and his representation. 

 

B.  That Blackmon's indefinite suspension violation involves "having a beer".    There seems to be a general feeling among Jags fans that the only issue Blackmon has is with alchohol because they know about the DUIs that are public police records.  .   The DUIs may very well be the tip of the iceberg for Blackmon along with failed drug tests and behind the scenes issues that the fans don't know about because the NFL keeps specific violations in confidential per the CBA.    It's not hard to deduce that someone who has displayed as poor judgement and impulse control as Blackmon has a whole slew of issues and personal demons.  

 

C. That having contact with the team is in any way beneficial to Blackmon.   Blackmon's sole priority should be fixing Blackmon, not being pressured by his his teammates, coaches, employers and Jacksonville media.    That's precisely why the NFLPA wants the players isolated
