I just don't agree. 500k is not throw away money for him, and 6 games reasonable for the crime. It is a DUI. Yes he doesn't play, so no its not a huge loss for the team, but the fact is it is an appropriate penalty.
We keep bringing up other non related penalties in this thread like domestic battery or an owner with a drinking problem.
The fact is this is Gordon's 3rd failed test in the 2 whole years as a pro and then his dumb ass gets 2 more drug/alcohol related offenses before the appeal.
If you or I failed drug tests at work. Not only would they not throw us in rehab, they wouldn't let us fail a 2nd or 3rd test, we would just be out of a job,
In the end, no one has anyone to blame but Josh Gordon. Yes the Ray Rice penalty was laughable, but that doesn't make Josh Gordons unjust, just means Rice's should have been more severe.
