Source claims Eric Reid lied about how many times he was tested

And folks, look at the average roster in the NFL--this is really not about racism.  If I thought that were the case, I would be the first in line to protest. 

They ask Reid to take a drug test, and he complies but feels discriminated against.  Yet he complies.

Yet he does not stand for the National Anthem for the same reason?

I personally did not think he should have to stand, but I do not recall anyone telling him that he had to stand.  We just do not know all of the facts, but if I am a GM, I worry that he could piss in the drinking water--I look elsewhere for talent (safe move, not a racial move).

Well there are actual rules about taking drug tests whereas there are no rules about being required to stand. He would get suspended for a “failed” test if he refused to take a drug test and would have no chance at winning an appeal.

Every drug test I have done and I'm subject to random test at anytime.  You sign a piece of paper with a time and date on it  and get a copy. So if Reid was tested alot he would have receipts to prove it.  

 NFL should just say how many times he was tested.  They are the ones being accused of something, easy way to prove their innocence.   Should be easy for them to do the same.

They can’t because it’s private medical information. That’s why this is coming out via sources and wasn’t in their statement.

"Sources".

The league is worth billions, has all sorts of resources at their disposal. Yet they make more of an effort to disprove this than they did to get to the bottom of the Kareem Hunt incident before their hand was forced.

F*ck the NFL.

Get to the bottom of the Kareem Hunt incident?  He assaulted multiple people, including a female.  There's video of it.

How did a random media outlet get a hold of that video before a sports league worth billions like the NFL?

You aren't good at comprehending posts.

The NFL is basically daring him to provide proof. They can’t because of HIPAA which is why they leaked that he has been tested less than he claimed via “sources.”

Doesn’t hippo say you can’t reveal medical info. Nothing specific to how many requests they made.  The request for a medical procedure is not the same as the medical procedure.   

A doctor can provide information such as date and time related to a patient appointment but not the info specific to an appointment or diagnosis.  These should be available.

So... you think the NFL didn't look for a video?  What's the motivation for that?

Take your tin foil hat off, dude.

No matter where you stand on the issue this is a terrible point that really needs to die. Paying minorities to be entertainers for your profit in no way excludes you from being racist.

I know what you were going for here,

But this almost made me spit out my coffee lol.

There are definitely ways to find the exact number of tests that were requested of Reid, however, both sides are restricted by the same rules with regards to medical info, like you stated. The only way this gets resolved is behind closed doors with lawyers and the works, unfortunately. So we will probably never know which side was right. It'll just stay a PR battle between the two sides.

Employers are generally not affected by the HIPAA privacy rule. The NFL releases medical information all of the time. We get to know when and why players are suspended for PEDs or drugs. When a player gets knocked out of the game they give us detailed injury reports.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
