It's really not his choice. I have little doubt if he wasn't facing yet another suspension and the Cowboys had cleared him, he'd be trying to play this fall.
This smells like when someone famous says they quit and yet everyone else knows he or she was actually fired.

Players have to push there agenda and beliefs. That’s kool. But you are paid to play football. It’s your job and you make millions. Just like any job there are rules and if you want to work there then you follow them. They drug test and pot is on the banned substance list. They tell you that and even let you know when they are testing you so you have time to clean up. If you fail you get multiple chances. They want to pay you millions and don’t want to fire you. Using your social media to push your agenda is great and the right place to do it. He has failed apparently multiple times so he is suspended for at least a year before he can reapply. So he is butthurt because he is suspended and he will use the 2.2 million we paid him last year to live on. Hope he has another plan to make money. And hope he don’t end up in jail.

Exactly.
The NFL ‘quit him’ before he made this proclamation. It’s easy to say “I quit!” After you’ve already been fired.
But that’s one thing Irving is good at - quitting. Except pot of course, he can’t quit that.

I think its funny to see everyone criticizing David Irving. The thing is, i bet half of these critics didnt even watch/listen to his video because in all honesty, he made some great points. Yes, he is passing up on a lot of money and a potentially great NFL career because the guy is a damned monster when hes out there. But in regards to what he said and why he is "quitting", i fully support him.
As a former opioid addict, first the pills then heroin (now in recovery, thank the good lord), what the NFL is trying to do by pushing Big Pharma's idiotic agenda and act like opioids are the answer to pain while punishing people for smoking weed to try and deal with the same pain is absolute bull****.
If David Irving can effectively deal with his pain/injuries from playing football through the use of marijuana, then i am all for him doing it and i think the NFL should be as well. Anything is better than getting physically dependent on opiods and benzos (which i have no idea why the NFL allows either, that is appalling to me as well.)
I think most people criticizing Irving have no idea how bad the opioid epidemic is right now and how many people it is killing by the day. I believe with the entire Purdue pharma case going on right now and the negative publicity they are receiving, more people will get familiar with just how corrupt that industry truly is and hopefully will force the NFL to finally change their damn policy on weed and stop pushing painkillers like water to the players.

And see, I just disagree. Irving is a full on idiot but hey, it's his choice to make.
