KennyFuckingPowers Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I posted this in the NFL thread however I think more people will see this outside of that since the last post was in may. I started a petition to urge the NFL to stop suspending players for smoking marijuana. Its completely bullshit that a league dealing with a ton of concussion related lawsuits will suspend players for using something that helps them deal with pain. I encourage you to sign this. Thanks! https://www.change.org/p/barack-obama-stop-the-nfl-from-testing-players-for-marijuana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Honestly, I never thought it a great idea to put 200-300 pound people on the football field at less than 100% mental faculties. I figure smoking weed and playing a physically violent game is a pretty good way to hurt yourself or make a poor judgement and injure someone else.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) The only way this would get passed is if the NFLPA argues for it in the next collective bargaining agreement. There is no need for a petition. If the players really want this it will get done. Edited August 3, 2016 by tellallyourfriends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing but I'm positive that the perceived issue is that they can't smoke during their freew time. I doubt many of these would be foolish enough to get high on weed before these games. Maybe cocaine or meth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Most of us non-millionaires who don't have access to the kind of resources that athletes do can still get fired for marijuana use, even when it's prescribed by a doctor. Where's our petition? i doubt that an organization made up of old rich white guys, whose sponsors are companies run by old rich white guys, are ready to consider such a progressive move.
