Quote:So what? It's not in any way a performance enhancer, so why does the league even care to ban it? I can understand why the league wouldn't want a player high on the field, but if he's smoking a little during his time off, why should that result in missing games?

Who's really to blame here? If someone told you that you could potentially make millions of dollars playing a kid's game and all you have to do is not smoke pot for a couple of years (or at least not get caught) what would you do? If anything these guys getting caught should be required to submit to a physiological eval as its obvious something is wrong upstairs if you're giving up hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to smoke a joint.


When I signed on with my current employer, in my contract I agreed to abstain from drugs and to submit to random drug test periodically. If I decide to get high tonight and I happen to get called in for a urine test in the morning should I get mad at the employer when they ask me for my badge and escort me out of the building that afternoon? No, I was fully aware of the consequences involved.
