HOUSTON — The league is listening. But it wants facetime.
The NFL Players’ Association recently announced its intent to propose to the league a “less punitive” approach to dealing with recreational marijuana use among players.
“I do think that issues of addressing it more in a treatment and less punitive measure is appropriate,” union executive director DeMaurice Smith told The Washington Post.
Smith did not specify the changes in the NFLPA’s proposal, which was expected to be presented to the union’s board Tuesday and, if passed, sent to the league in order to try and collectively bargain a change to the drug policy.
