Less than a month ago, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated adamantly that marijuana is highly addictive and detrimental to one’s health. Goodell conveniently avoided mentioning the disturbing amounts of prescription pain killers that are widely distributed among the players he is supposed to be in charge of.
Unlike marijuana, the pain killers used by NFL players have actually been proven to be addictive and dangerous to a player’s current and future health.
Well now Goodell may get to learn just how prevalent the act of popping pills currently is in the league as the NFLPA has recently filed a grievance versus the NFL that could reveal some ugly details regarding how poorly the league controls its teams’ pain killer usage levels.
