Please try to follow along. Gordon's issues predate he NFL. However, if you have legit anxiety and mental health issues I don't think being labelled a pariah and ridiculed by fans helps one overcome anxiety issues.
You have dudes that beat women that get punished less than Gordon and again Gordon may have legit mental health issues. The way we treat and dismiss people who may have mental health issues is disturbing. That is the issue for me.
Like not even sure your beef? Are you saying people that are legit mentally ill and turn to substance abuse should be treated like this and be called assholes like some people are doing?

Really not understanding why the above is worthy of being labelled an asshole. And do people think that these issues go away if you have enough money? I suppose for some maybe it will take an overdose or suicide to maybe understand his issues go beyond substance abuse which is how the NFL and fans have labelled him.

Thankfully I have zero moral authority. Indeed I'm a bit of a misfit. But if you're too fucked up to play bal you can't play ball... am I missing something here?

According to ESPN the Browns are getting "phone calls" plural about trading for Gordon, he's going to be on a team. Sorry for you guys that want to see a guy with emotional problems punished.

I hope the guy gets his life figured out. But I'd rather Pace move on.

That was not your argument. You said he drinks and smokes too much in response to me saying treating him like a simple drug addict is not the right approach. I also never said he should play. I said he should be put on the non-injury reserve list as opposed to treated like a common weed smoker.
Mental health and anxiety issues should be treated differently than someone who just smokes weed for shits and giggles. The NFL has a one size fits all approach and I think that contributes to guys not getting the help they need.
What about the above do you disagree with?

Just don't do more than 2 or 3 weeds if you need to get things done, literally that simple.

Nah, maybe the Texans can pick up the phone so Watson has someone else to miss for more interceptions.

Convoluted and all as my point was expressed can we not just go back to complaining about the QB/GM/HC which I can at least understand... somewhat

You seem to be similar to the "bears fan" that didn't want Brandon Marshall on the team because he was an "uppity black man"... in different words, but we get your drift. Sad!

Not correct, loved Marshall. Love my wife and children ;
But you can't play ball while inebriated with alcohol which appears to be the issue.

Don't recall where I said it should become a Bears issue in this thread. I simply highlighted his mental health and anxiety issues because you omitted that from your comments about his substance abuse.
I also said I would like to see someone actually address his mental health rather than the NFL's focus on punishing him for his substance abuse.
