Josh Gordon discussion

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Can someone connect the dots for me? I fail to see what they're insinuating here..

"Josh Gordon’s absence from the Cleveland Browns may have nothing to do with his battles with substance abuse or addiction", and it's actually because he got his child support ruling?

Why would he leave the Browns and $1,900 per week after learning he owes $6k+ per month in child support? I'm not following the logic here.

I think the implication is that the ruling was an additional stress in his life that may have caused him to seek further counseling to avoid relapse

Ever seen anyone dealing with a custody battle? Or a tumultuous divorce? The stress is heavy enough to jostle most people's work performance. I'd bet it makes recovery a bit more difficult.

Not saying 80k is fun, but he will make a bit over a million a year on the last year of his contract. If he stays in the NFL, this is a fair amount for him to pay in child support for sure and should be affordable.

It means with Josh Gordon if it isn't this, then it's that. I'm just waiting until he arrives at camp.

Oh yeah, this makes plenty of sense. For some reason I thought they lumped his anxiety in there with addiction and substance abuse when dismissing them as reasons he left camp. But they didn't.

I have assumed all along and thought we even got some vague confirmation that anxiety was the reason he was gone. Anxiety which eventually leads to the desire to self-medicate.

The original article has more information

He isn't due to receive his first paycheck until September 9th. The judge ordered him to start paying the $6k a month on August 1st so what I took away is that they're insinuating he fled to Florida to avoid paying it (he checked into rehab the same day paternity was first established in 2016).

This is a shining example of why the media sucks sometimes. Josh Gordon's child support case has no place being published on web sites and talked about on the radio like it has been.

Ask Jordan Cameron's sister, who just got off with $258,000 monthly from Blake Griffin, plus whatever she gets from Matt Leinart per month.

Such as every single case ever. The mother gets free rein to do whatever, pay her bills, pay her boyfriend's bills, create more bills, very seldom does the money get put up for the child's future education. There should be laws where a fraction of the payment goes directly to child's saving account.

I've seen bitches get fake titties with child support, it's so fucking sad.

Same time you can't punish the ones that actually need money to raise their kid by themselves
