Dangerous behavior. Situational Ethics.
Though I believe in second chances and redemption, this one is tough. I imagine most of us would be doing time for at least months for this same behavior. And is this a 3rd chance for him ??? Just asking.
My professional code of ethics is very strict, as is my professional licensing. What he did would end my professional career. Much less than what he did would end my professional career. His career is likely preserved.

UPDATE:
#Steelers NT Alameda Ta’amu Clarifies Twitter SNAFU & Says He No Longer Drinks
On Sunday night, Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu made a bad mistake when he retweeted a Twitter picture posted by @ME0ish showing him in a car with a bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. After posting about the picture, the retweet by Ta'amu has since been deleted, as has the original picture.
Ta'amu has now taken to Twitter to clarify things.
I don't go out and I don't drink.. I've passed every UA test since October 14.. I'm in Pitt training.. Focused for next season. HONEST MISTAKE. Really. Didn't look at his pic before sending my tweet. Wouldn't joke about that."

We don't have any cheerleaders but we do have a few of these \m/...
I think many of us get caught up in "fairness". While I would love for the world to be fair, it isn't. Football players who the Steelers want to keep, get special treatment. It's that simple. On a side note, I am happy that this guy is getting a second chance despite it not being "fair".
Trolls are people too.
