They really should revisit that policy... What a shame.
Why? Why can't these players just not smoke weed and be happy they are making millions of dollars to play a game?
I'm sorry but if my job was like "Hey.. we're about to pay you 8 million bucks a year.. just uh.. don't smoke weed ok?" guess what.. I'm not smoking weed.
Because I think the punishment far exceeds the crime.
They know the rules ahead of time. My company has random drug testing. Guess what? I don't do drugs so I won't get fired. If I do, and I get fired, it's my own damn fault.
Good for you and your company. I happen to think that it's a ridiculous notion that they even need to test for Marijuana in athletics. I'm aware that they know the rules. I'm also aware that they're primarily kids.
If they were operating a race car at 200+ MPH I'd feel differently about it.
[edit] Meanwhile, guys like Aldon Smith are smashing cars into trees due to alcohol use and being allowed to practice the same week.
If you're going to test for pot, why not test for alcohol? How many people die every year related to alcohol versus marijuana?
