On Wednesday morning Josh Gordon tweeted, “I take my mental health very seriously at this point to ensure I remain able to perform at the highest level. I have recently felt like I could have a better grasp on things mentally. With that said, I will be stepping away from the football field for a bit to focus on my mental health.”
Now everybody with any street sense knew what ole boy was really trying to do. He was trying to get out ahead of what was really about to go down. At some point we knew that we’d find out that Gordon had come up dirty on drug test or would potentially come up dirty and sure enough the NFL followed suit with it’s own statement.
Hours later they issued a statement that read as follows,”Effective today, Josh Gordon has been returned to the Reserve/Commissioner Suspended list indefinitely for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement under the Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Nobody voluntarily walks away from that type of bread or opportunity. So you already knew he’d fallen off. It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this because he’s such a talented player. He’d already missed most of the previous four seasons with violations of the NFL drug policy.
He could be banished from the NFL altogether according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement if he has a positive test, although he could still apply for reinstatement.
Let’s put it where the goats can get it. Josh Gordon’s kryptonite has been the weed. Most young folks think that it’s cool to play around with weed because it’s been legalized in a few states. However, it’s still a drug that can take over your life. The problem is, most people have no idea what their brains will get addicted to. It’s all Russian Roulette bruh.
Once that ball starts rolling there’s always the possibility of getting hooked on even stronger drugs. Why? Because once you’re high some fool will introduce you to something that will get you even higher. You’re already high so you’re not thinking clearly and there you go.
Some people can smoke weed and never get addicted while others can hit it one time and they’re off to the races. This is just another example of an extremely talented individual throwing his career away because of the bad decision to start fooling around with drugs in the first place.
I’ve seen a lot of people’s lives ruined because of bad decisions that they made about trying to be cool and following some idiot that told them that smoking weed was cool. Stop me when I start lyin’!
