Goodell - marijuana "may not be healthy for the players long term."

[AtlantaDan]

So good to read Rog is concerned about player health

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell delivered a strong statement against marijuana use Friday, telling ESPN Radio that the league sees no medical benefits and adding that "it may not be healthy for the players long term." ...

"Listen, you're ingesting smoke, so that's not usually a very positive thing that people would say. It does have addictive nature. There are a lot of compounds in marijuana that may not be healthy for the players long term. All of those things have to be considered."

taking blows to the head isnt good for your long term health either YET the league is not mandating new helmet technology that is far superior in protecting players and has censors inside that would warn teams and its medical staff of potentially dangerous shots to the head so they can then check said player out ...

so there is that....

Don't worry about that. New helmets in 2018 will fix that!! Lol...
