Really? He is gone and have not seen anyone wishing ill will against him. Another one of your straw man arguments.
Anyone know why DeVonte is not going to Northwestern with the team?
- Thread starter alishedobbs
- Start date

During the work day.
I never push it, all my managers are ex-military. They are humorless.
Not likely to happen.
Any addiction can be met with a 30 day rehab that the company may provide, and any mistep during or after that will provide them with the legal authority to just terminate your employment, backed by a higher power attorney than the individual could ever afford. If the company wants you and your problem gone, you're gone.
If it opens up another scholarship for a guard then yes it helps. He hasn’t been very good for IU.
You said it was perfectly legal. It's not. It's still illegal everywhere.
If you are caught with any illegal substance during a random drug test, it is considered an addiction and you may have the choice of rehab or having your employment terminated. There is no labor union to cry foul to. You obey company policies or be terminated.
(1) Playing college basketball on scholarship is a very different legal status than employment; the scholarship player has to act in accordance with the rules - reasonable rules - that are imposed by the school.
(2) The Home Depot guy in Colorado? His claim would almost certainly be toast. I know of no legal protection based on recreational drug protections.* He almost certainly would be an employee at will, which means that his employment could be terminated for any reason, or no reason at all, except those that are explicitly prohibited by applicable law, which typically means only those classifications that are protected by federal or state statute, or by a local ordinance.
*We could go over to the Cooler and ask CoH, who is a long-time attorney in Colorado. He's never mentioned any protections for employees who smoke pot on their own time . . . .
If he failed a drug test then Green did this to himself, by his own choice of action. He let the team and his coaching staff down. Poor decisions have consequences.
You might want to check with your employment attorney . . . if the beer is consumed pursuant to alcohol dependency then the employee might have a disability claim. Unlikely, but it's been done before.

Hall of Famer
Well that freshman guard would have to be better than senior Green. How many of those are we recruiting?
That shouldn’t be hard to match in leadership and production
Not a chance courts will rule like you said.
It's also "legal" to skip class in college, turn in the minimum number and quality of assignments and be on track with barely enough credits to graduate with the lowest acceptable GPA possible .........if you pay your own way.
On the other hand, if you voluntarily agree to receive a scholarship, room and board, tutoring and medical care for playing sports, the NCAA is free to impose some additional requirements, and that's "legal" too.
He already lost his starting spot to a freshman. Wouldn't exactly take a monster recruit to replace Green, who's been pretty poor his entire time at IU. And then you also have the grad transfer market.
You can't be under the influence of beer while working at home depot either. lol
He's 4th in points, 4th in rebounds, 1st in assists, second in steals. But if you think he is a slacker dragging down the team's effort it could be a good subtraction.
Outside of a couple of bad games what are the other " embarrassments" you refer to here?
Are they still upset about the Christmas party a few years back where you brought the hooker and blow? I told you, you should have shared.
harlond beverly! c'mon down! you are the next contestant...
doesn't make it right or even remotely based on fact. we can start with you can not get physically addicted to marijuana. unlike legal alcohol
as i previously said, in my opinion they are coming. the wheels of justice turn slowly. is that the expression? and in our country, the justice system is irredeemably corrupt so justice and what is fair and right don't come into play. all i'm saying is eventually the court challenge is coming and after several failed lawsuits state legislators will change laws to protect people engaged in legal activities. don't forget, airlines used to be able to fire women for being pregnant or even 10 lbs overweight
Under the employment-at-will doctrine, an employer can generally fire an employee for any reason or for no reason at all. However, employers cannot fire employees for reasons that would violate anti-discrimination laws. I don't think recreational weed smoking applies.
ok. how about this? an employee with a severe form of epilepsy takes prescription marijuana. tests positive. gets fired. now?
relax. just having a grown up discussion. if it bothers you try your ignore button
Thank you for proving my point, with that comment about firing women. The legal protection for them is statutory.
How drunk are you?
then why don't they test for alcohol because you are talking about a morality "clause"
what part about recreational did you not understand? My guess is if the employee has epilepsy it would fall under a "disability."

how would you feel if they imposed a ban on alcohol consumption of all athletes in all sports?
