Now a preface to this rant is yes I am a Denver Broncos fan and I know that this has always been known and an issue but now that it has an affect on a team I'm a fan of I have really come to wonder.
Why do premiere athletes insist on being fools and tarnish their name and deprive teams that pay them substantial amounts of money and instill trust in them? Most recent occurrence/my breaking point, Travis Henry. He comes to Denver and says I'm glad to be with a team that has a rushing attack like Denver and that he wants to help them win and all that jazz. Now yes again I know this has always been a problem but what are these guys thinking? This isn't even about steroids, yes steroids are illegal and banned just like marijuana but are taken for a completely different reason as we all know.
Now personally I would do anything to be given the ability to be a professional football player (and especially a starting back) and these "men" who are given the ability to play a game they love and make obscene money and yet they can't put down a ****ing joint? Granted I come from a completely different background than these players (namely Travis Henry and Ricky Williams) but how can an individual be so stupid/lack the will power to comprehend that stuff is going to come up on a drug test? Sure they may get away with it but is it worth it? Are they that desperate to risk there jobs/respect for a joint?
Maybe I'm overreacting on this rant/ don't understand it but I am at a lost at these individuals decisions/thought process.
