He also has a newborn. Football, school and family should be before "entertainment."
I highly doubt his extra curricular activities had anything to do with his passing trajectory.
That's a good point. I don't know if he's dealing with chronic pain. Hell, I don't even know if his leave has anything to do with a failed drug test.
I fully support legalization and agree that it shouldn't get a player suspended, but that isn't really the issue here. The issue is that Park can't follow the rules... if the rumors are true.
I have to admit that I didn't expect to see a Joseph Stalin comment in a football thread, ever. But now I'm wondering who is the one who is actually stoned...
I agree with this a lot. I've got no problem with medicinal or recreational legalization. However, if the team rules/laws say it's not allowed, then it should be pretty cut and dry.
If he has psychological pain marijuana is a far better medicine than those pills they try to give you. Old people need to get over the stigma. 30 percent of the country smokes. Its doing just fine.
Idk the specifics of Park's situation but I can tell you if its just weed than who cares? Free time should be your time.

Exactly. It's legal in Colorado but banned in the NFL so Broncos players cannot use it. One is law and one is rule yet they go hand-in-hand.
Not agreeing with rules and regs doesnt give one the ability to ignore them without consequences.
You can't play the game to how the rules should be... Have to play it to how the rules presently are. That's where Park is going wrong (assuming truth in rumors).
This is exactly why I'm uncomfortable even reading through this thread. Maybe we should all just take a break from the speculation and give the guy some privacy until he comes back. If/when he is ready to discuss whatever's been going on, he will. Until then we should all just back off.

What past issues did he have? I honestly don't remember anything other than he signed with Georgia out of high school and left for some reason.
I don't want to get into a pissing contest about smoking weed. But, the main problem that smoking weed tends to lead to more hard drugs. You can look at all hard drug users and they will almost be certain that they smoked weed. Yes, I'm older than most on here. But, I grew up in the hippy days. I saw all of that. I will say most heavy users back then haven't lead to a well functioning person in the work force. How many of the inter city people have all smoked weed and are on food stamps for generations. Hell, if you think it is okay then start giving it to your small kids and sit around and lead by example. There are reasons that weed is against the Federal Law. Yes, states are opting to allow weed, such as Colorado and the western states. But, these are the liberal states where the state wants to make money. Colorado has seen an increase in car accidents while being high. If you need to be high to function then we are indeed in a world of trouble. If you want to smoke weed take drugs then do it by yourself and not drive or be around others. If you hate the world or hate people like the Las Vegas shooter. Destroy our own life and not others...... We have seen how getting high affected one of own basketball players Bryce Dejean Jones. He had problems while he was here. Then having a family and being in the NBA. He threw it all away by being high and breaking into the wrong apartment.... I how the high was worth it.....
Well, he's good enough to make a living playing football if he decides to, so it should be more than just "entertainment" for him.
Grenade-lobbing seemed like a better alternative?
I'm just confused (which rumors tend to do).
Is this a personal medical issue or violation of team rules?
