It's amazing that we are JUST NOW going to dig into this. I'll give Edelman credit for saying that he is accountable for his actions and what he puts in his own body (because he is and so are all of us) however, for me the below statement should be discussed on a much larger platform:
"The performance-enhancing drug suspension has been largely (but not entirely) absent in the discussion of Edelman’s excellence and, in some corners, his long-shot Hall of Fame candidacy. Try to imagine the difference in tone if theoretically a World Series MVP had been popped for PEDs and missed 40 games. It’s not even possible — MLB players busted during the season can’t play in the postseason. Baseball drug cheats are met with pitchforks. Football drug cheats are met with shrugs. They aren’t even really considered cheats." - Adam Kilgore - Washington Post
Isn't it about time that we allow ALL of our national past times the same scrutiny?
