Reply #7: I have no compassion for Ricky Williams

[Ravenseye]

If he wanted to go off and be a hippie masseuse and smoke pot constantly, I say more power to him. Hey if you want to go do that and that's what makes you happy, more power to you. Enjoy.

Whatever he says though he broke a contract. He took money from the Dolphins to play this year, and he's not playing. He hasn't paid the money back. He left his teammates without a running back mere days before training camp.

If he wanted to stop he shouldn't have signed a contract. If he wanted to quit football he should have waited till the time on the contract he signed was up. If he wanted to quit before that, he should have discussed it with the team and given them more notice to pick up a free agent, or draft a new running back. Instead he basically left them in the lurch and they're one of the worst teams in the NFL this year because of his leaving. Would they have made the superbowl? Who knows. Highly doubtful, but that doesn't matter.

He didn't honor the commitments he agreed to, and he left because he valued smoking pot more than being honorable.

It doesn't matter whether or not they should drug test for pot. It doesn't matter whether he didn't like what he was doing. He signed up for it, and then quit because he didn't want to get suspended for drug violations. He can't go back because he gets high every day, he was baked for the interview.

I have no compassion for him. He fucked people over.
