Just because some players may embrace being an advocate of mental health or whatever by being open about their struggles does NOT mean others should be held to that standard.  

You say "if he owns it". The man is walking away from football to fix whatever is going on, thats owning it. He doesn't owe you or anybody [BLEEP]

You're misunderstanding what I said. He is doing what he needs to do to recover. Owning it after he has recovered is about being open with his struggles in public. If he wants it, it is there for him. He could help a lot of other people by speaking up.

Some struggles do not need to be aired in public, though. We are all speculating as to the nature of what led to this decision.

Heck, for all we know, the public scrutiny of whatever he's dealing with may be the very cause of why he decided to forego salary and step away completely, rather than try to balance professional football and personal matters. 

I understand this is a disucssion board, and there's no harm in our venturing guesses, but we should also be respectful of his right to keep his business private. If he chooses not to disclose, that should be perfectly fine. Some personal matters do not need to be broadcast.

Yeah, because in the grand scheme of things, that is so important.
