I'll admit that I know very little about Josh Gordon and NFL policy, but it seems like BS. The only thing I hold against Josh Gordon is the DUI, which he didn't get suspended for (am I correct on that?). Everything he has been suspended for is behavior that most of the country is doing and is either legal everywhere, or in select states. In fact, I'm confident the people suspending him have engaged in the same behavior, but somehow Gordon has a problem. I cannot imagine losing my job for practically two years for a joint and two beers. It seems as though the NFL has a bigger privacy issue than Gordon has a drug issue. I don't think employers have any right to check people for alcohol usage. If all American employers did unannounced drug tests tomorrow, what percentage of the workforce would we lose?
Once again, I know very little about the situation; is he really in trouble and at risk of hitting bottom, or is he just getting caught doing something barely harmful that most people do, but don't get caught?
Pot and alcohol are barely harmful until they cost you millions of dollars, friends, co-workers and ultimately your career.
