What do I mean and why? ESPN has 10,002 commercials leading up to their futile 6pm Sportcenter with one recurring lead. "One NBA player admits to illegal drug use." Yes Josh Howard admitted to using marijuana in the off-season, yes he was honest, and yes he said that many other players use herb. First of all, this is probably all information we already knew. Now, I forgot what values we promote here. Oh, lets chastise Howard for his honesty and courage, lets slam him for his illegal acts, I bet Smith would advocate he be jailed. This sports media has lost all control over everything that matters. Oh no! the feds are going to go after Josh Howard for smoking marijuana and oh no! it's illegal! To quote a great line from the prophetic film V for Vendetta, "People should not afraid of their government, government should be afraid of its people."
So what if it's illegal, the illegality of smoking marijuana is irrelevant. So many illegal things go on on a daily basis in this fucking country, smoking marijuana should be the least of people's worries. Fuck Smith for being in the pocket of one of the biggest corporations in America, Disney, and being the corporate fiend we all know him to be.
Smoking marijuana has no worse an effect on the body than binge drinking or getting hammered off of brews every night. I don't see any fewer bud light or Smirnoff commercials on your stations ESPN or ABC, in fact my favorite show PTI is sponsored by Guinness, a beer. Hmmm. That seems odd. I don't think ESPN really has the moral high ground here does it. Drink beer, ruin your liver, drive drunk, kill a few peep, but never touch marijuana. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
What players do in their own time is their own business. Smoking marijuana is a part of the sports/hip-hop culture that makes the NBA what it is today. That is not going to change no matter how many uniform codes you enforce Stern. Furthermore, its this hip-hop culture that is making you a rich man Mr. Stern, it's also making you very rich Mr. Smith so I suggest being the fiend that you are to shut up. No one cares what you think, you want to know what is truly ridiculous, it's you trying to be funny by saying stupid and obvious comments and making fun of Rasho Nesterovic. Listen buddy (Smith), you probably don't even know how to dribble a ball. Rasho could probably send you back to wherever you came from on the court so I suggest that you stop running your mouth.
