Josh Gordon Suspended 1 year
|
Quote:It isn't state law to drug test. Testing people on whether they are following the law is not a requirement by the state. Corporations will always have a strong interest in making sure that their employees are not incapacitated because of drug use, legal or not. However, in the case of the NFL, players are judged on their production, and paid on that basis. There's really no need to test for drugs that aren't performance-enhancing. If a player's performance drops, then his pay will also drop, a whole lot if he's cut. At best, the player's team is given a heads up as to the reason for a performance drop off, but I don't think anyone here would say that Cleveland is better off now that Gordon has been suspended. Their opponents certainly lose nothing by playing against a player who's intellect has been dulled, so there's no competition-based argument that they can make that such a player needs to be suspended. Since both the NFL and the union agreed to it, the policy is in place. In any case, there are plenty worse policies that I can think of. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
