A paycheck is not enabling. Buying him the booze would be enabling.
Brent never had to face the brutal reality of true consequences, which is apparently what he (and most with his kind of problem) needed to do.
Any normal person who did what he did would have hit rock bottom a long time ago. He had a DUI. Then he was responsible for the death of a teammate because he was drunk. Failed a league drug test. Then he failed to follow proper monitoring before trial. Then he got a ridiculously light sentence for vehicular manslaughter.
Instead, Jones instead stuck with him, giving him first a warehouse job while he was suspended by the league and then as time went along even a position in the scouting department, which I am sure he was not exactly the most qualified to do. He should have been left to honestly deal with his issues instead of coddled.
Jones enabled him all along. It is nice I guess that Jones has these charity cases, but rarely does his faith and kindness get rewarded.
