To my thinking, David Irving will be noted far more for having wasted an otherwise promising career over his pot habit than ever being a positive influence for it. He was afforded more than a generous opportunity to succeed and displayed little more than a foolhardy determination to cheat himself, his family and his team from reaping the benefits of an otherwise immense talent. His distaste for the sport of football ultimately betrayed him, along with a foolish dependency upon smoking cannabis, despite the fact that it's was illegal and forbidden by the NFL at the time. He's ultimately anything but the heroic campaigner that he'd vainly prefer to disguise himself as.
You don't really know what you're taalking about.
It's admirable for someone to reject opioids, even if he'd be compensated greatly for it. Health>>>>Money
Not everyone would "die" for the shot at playing professional football
Money isn't everything to everybody
He's obviously got some mental health issues that are rooted in things we'll never be privy to.
Him living as healthy a life as possible, focusing on his family, IS literally reaping the benefits of his talent..
His distaste for the NFL may have betrayed YOU, but I don't see how you dare state that it betrayed him?
I could go on and on, but most importantly, don't project your wants and desires onto someone else, and definitely do not judge anyone, lest thou be judged first!
