Agua said:The scorn that will fall on the team if he quits or fails another drug test is one. The disrespect it demonstrates to the guys who did their job and resentment they may harbour is two. I could think up several more if I was feeling particularly ambitious, but I'm not.
What scorn? For giving a man second chance? Even if he fails to live up to his end of the bargain? I see nothing wrong with giving a man a second chance, particularly when it will have no causal negative impact on the team's play if he fails to live up to his bargain. Now if Saban were staking the fortunes of the entire team on Ricky Williams, I may agree with you, but he is not.. That is why Ronnie Brown was drafted.
People deserve second chances.. As a worker, you should not feel "disrespected" if your employer chooses to employ someone with who you dislike or disagree with. You were doing your job, and that is all you should be concerned about. Worry about how you performed your duties.. How others performed or did not perform should not be much of your concern. I understand that in a team concept, one cog, and an important one, might effect your performance, but the burden is on your employer to build a system that does not crumble if one cog malfunctions.
The Dolphins will suffer no reputation damage if the man they give a second chance fails to redeem himself, nor will they suffer another structural collapse, for this time, the employer has created a system that will not be hinged upon one faulty cog.
