People think weed is bad? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Stop believing everything your conservative mormon parents tell you.

Smoking pot is illegal regardless of what you or I think about it.

And? Would you have had a problem with a black athlete marrying a white woman when mixed marriages were illegal? Role models and all...

Please never leave Tennessee. You'll never know what you are missing.

Actually buddy, I have lived in 4 different states including Boston Massachusetts and have been overseas many times. Youre type of thinking is a small minority and has never worked. Communism works great!!! Also have a Master's degree. Now back to basketball I have already said I hope that he will work out and contribute but glad he was signed for only one year. Wish we did the same with Raja.

Memphis is gutter.

You dont have to tell me that, but my wife is here getting her PhD. You on the other hand sound like quite the brilliant person.

Fail.

Fail.

If you're commenting on your own post, then we agree.

I fail because I don't want professional athletes participating in illegal activities? Wow, what great logic you have, guy. hehepeepeecaca.

Fail.

The height of reasoning.

There was nothing to reason with in regards to your posts. Just you playing a spin doc and not a very good one.

So far above your head. The point is you've equated doing something illegal with being bad. I think you'd agree that plenty of people have broken the law without being particularly bad people. I'd guess you break the law from time to time. Does that necessarily take away from your ability to do your job effectively? No. Does it necessarily effect your co-workers? No. Does it make you a particularly bad role model (I don't understand how this has any bearing on the discussion)? No.

I guess what I don't get is how Josh Howard's offseason activities, so long as they don't affect his ability to perform during the season (and I'd argue that smoking a little weed and "disrespecting" the flag/anthem/whatever would fall into that category), should make any difference at all (with obvious exceptions...unless you're Karl Malone) in deciding if he's "worthy" of being a Jazz man.

If you refuse to support players who smoke weed or do other "unsavory" things, you should probably stop watching professional sports altogether.

No **** Sherlock. Illegal and bad are synonymous.

Yes. And plenty of people have broken the law that are bad too.

I'd guess you've broken the law from time to time. Does that necessarily take away from your ability to do your job effectively?

Depends on what I'm doing.

No.

You really believe that "all" cases of breaking the law won't have an impact on job performance?

Does it necessarily effect your co-workers? No.

Yes. Have you ever had a job before?

Does it make you a particularly bad role model (I don't understand how this has any bearing to the discussion)? No.

In your opinion. Athletes should set examples in mine.

1. You should probably look up the word "necessarily", and then read my post a few more times.

2. Illegal is synonymous with bad? That brings us back to the question of mixed marriages, religious observances in strict theocracies, etc., etc.

3. I both have a job and occasionally break the law. My coworkers are, amazingly, unaffected.

Have you had a head injury recently?
