Summary

Must be nice being a professional athlete.  In the case of Josh Gordon, he has been suspended 6 times, 5 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.  ESPN reported yesterday that the NFLPA has asked for Gordon to be reinstated.  My question is why should he get another chance and why would a team sign him?  He has let so many people down over the past eight years!
