Just Say …So?
These kinds of stories help change minds:
Three top prospects for this year’s NFL Draft have admitted to using marijuana, NFL team sources have confirmed to The Sports Xchange.But sources also said the admissions should have little or no impact on their draft ratings.
The players cited are Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams and Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye. None of them tested positive for drugs in tests done by the NFL or in any of the random tests conducted in college by the NCAA.
According to ratings by NFLDraftScout.com, each player is the top prospect at his position. Johnson is ranked as the top player in the entire draft, Adams is seventh and Okoye 10th.
Do you think anybody worth listening to is going to think any less of these guys on account of pot? It’s a joke to think about. Are they less likely or qualified to be favorites of the fans and even heroes to our youth?
It’s not like these guys are Len Bias, you know. Let’s draw some distinctions and stop being such fucking cops about everything.
