Just Like Dwayne Haskins

Just like Dwayne Haskins, players making stupid decisions is a big problem around the league. Fans of the league don't need more virtue signaling, they need action, honest evaluations, and self reflection to prevent these tragedies. Unfortunately, this is largely a black issue. What is the solution so that players with poor life skills like Haskins and Ferguson don't get needlessly killed?

How much different is the NFL compared to the general population? Record teen suicides and depression among young people. There is a general lack of coping skills among the younger generation.

And pretending that the opioid crisis (fentanyl is implicated in this case) only (or mostly) hits people of one ethnicity is silly.

It's a huge problem that doesn't get nearly enough press IMO.

I couldn't agree more. The pandemic has really upped the level of these things. I don't believe you can ask the NFL to be better than the rest of society. That's unfair.

Very true as well.

I’m from Pittsburgh and I know of at least 10 classmates who have died from opioids.

All f them were white.

and this isn’t just poor white kids. I grew up in the same town that Ben, Sidney Crosby and Lynn Swann all live.

Its a serious problem in the rust belt.

75% of all US commercials are pharmaceutical ads. Don't expect the media they own to start covering it anytime soon.

The FAKE MEDIA proves nothing.

You wanna know the FACTS, the REAL news?

Yea, it's only a problem in the "rust belt." Try getting out a little.

Nah, you are wrong.
Opiod addiction- It truly is a black people problem.

Its amazing how often you misquote people. Never said it was ONLY a problem in the rust belt.

Tyler Skaggs just died in 2021 while on a road trip with the Angels.

Jimmy Hayes was 31 and was a few years removed from the NHL when he overdosed.
