“An interview on Fox News took an unexpected turn on Monday, and shocked the host when a guest explained that reasonable pot rules in the NFL would not make teens use more drugs.
ESPN.com reported last week that the NFL’s new renegotiated drug policy was expected to have a higher threshold for marijuana in the bloodstream, bringing it in-line with the World Anti-Doping Agency. The policy would also reduce punishments for player violations.
Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose husband is a former quarterback, brought on former Patriots linebacker Shawn Stuckey to explain why the NFL was making the changes.”* The Young Turks hosts Ben Mankiewicz and Ana Kasparian break it down.

I am a VERY loyal watcher and follower of TYT, but this is my first ever comment! You guys are seriously shooting yourselves in the foot here (esp w/Jimmy Dore). Keep down the profanity – I would love to share this kind of video but cannot due to the gratuitous swearing. Every now and then in normal usage is fine of course, but you guys just keep crossing the line into gratuity. Think about the audience you are losing here.
They swear all of the time and have a lot of followers. I don’t think too many people over the age of 10 really care too much about it. If you refuse to share a video just because of swear words, then it is your loss.
I’ll do you a favor – there are no such things as “swear words.” The only reason you believe that swear words exist is because somebody in power decided they didn’t like that specific word for whatever reason and they banned it.
At the end of the day, it’s a collection of symbols and guttural sounds that one can extrapolate meaning from – if you are offended by that meaning, then honestly, that’s your fucking choice. Fuck off with your linguistic ‘higher-then-thou’ bullshit.
