"I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals."

The Dolphins simultaneously issued a statement of their own. "We were made aware of the video late last night and have no tolerance for this behavior. After speaking with Chris this morning, he accepted full responsibility and we accepted his resignation effective immediately. Although Chris is no longer with the organization, we will work with him to get the help he needs during this time."

2. "My sole focus is on getting the help that I need"

I have a very strong feeling that Mr. Foerster will get that help, and within a year or two will be back on the coaching staff for some NFL team, because "second chances" and "paid his debt to society." Colin Kaepernick will continue to be unemployed in spite of the fact that several NFL teams could use his services to win more games.

This result will be attributed to the free market and have absolutely no racist overtones.

7. why can't trump say something like that.

"My sole focus is on getting the help that I need"

A woman can dream can't she??

8. Exactly.

As I've stated before, he hasn't been arrested, charged, and/or sentenced to an unreasonable mandatory minimum. He just lost a lucrative job and finally has to address his addiction before it becomes socially acceptable to let him back into the clubhouse because of "redemption" or "second chances".



To the people bringing up the "War on Drugs" to defend Chris, this is why it's bullshit. A well off man that fed an illegal habit escapes the punishment and gets treatment/chances that someone in a poorer neighborhood wouldn't.

3. As long as he stands for the anthem, though!

4. He sure looks like a jerk to me

but why is he fired? If he were an athlete, wouldn't they put him in treatment??

I'm just looking at him like he's an addict. Addict do stupid things. If they are rich addicts (relatively) then their stupidity looks like something a rich addict would do.

Perhaps he really just needs to quit doing drugs.................

5. He wasn't fired. He resigned.

6. You might be right

when I read it, I thought it was a forced resignation (but that's not what they wrote.........so it was just me assuming).

9. White guy does coke, bring in the doctor. Black guy does coke, bring in the lawyer.

Someone please explain to me why there hasn't been an arrest.
