[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 443842, member: 959"] I don't get the back and forth on this one. There was a policy (regardless of how any of us feel about it) that clearly outlined the consequences of a decision. Dedrick continued to choose to put his career here in jeopardy by smoking. Even after he was sent to counseling, tested repeatedly and suspended from games. Actions have consequences, whether we agree with this specific policy or not, there will always be rules which seem unfair that still are enforced. If you want to make a change for a new set of rules, then that is great but until the rule is changed it is what it is. I used to be a consultant in a big4 firm. I wasn't allowed to invest in a specific set of stocks and funds because some far flung part of our business advised them. The firm was concerned about the "image of impropriety" it was a dumb rule, but if you crossed the line you could be fired. That's what this is about for me. He had chances, and let's be honest it is unlikely he only smoked the three times, so it becomes an accountability issue. That his teammates continued to smoke around him, and not help him self-police is the bigger issue in my mind. [/QUOTE]
