I'm sorry, but Von Miller drug use was not protected by the same confidentiality rules as this.
It's not the same.
There were rules around releasing details of Von Miller's testing too. They too were broken and information was leaked. The situations are basically the same.
Nah, Von Miller was repeatedly breaking rules. They had the right to distribute his info.
The original information came from a LEAK which implies there was no right to release the information. It came out anyway. Someone snitched.
Freeman had his info leaked against his wishes, against NFL rules, right after being benched and rumored for release or trade. Defintely not the same. Especially in a contract year, this news was very damaging.
I agree the timing is suspicious, but that could mean the leaker in question just waited until the information was most valuable and then released it. Schiano could also be responsible, but there are more obvious reasons for why Schiano might want to distance himself from Freeman's failures. It could also be because Freeman had been reportedly asking for a trade. I personally think Freeman sucks and said so well before he started this season.
And nor did I say anyone is racist. I said there are those who KNOW the privilege they have in in being white when slandering blacks.
I understand the general idea but I don't see evidence for the same phenomenon here. First, Josh's demeanor, attitude, speech pattern, his surroundings, big nose etc are similar to full white players. I would think white coaches take well to Freeman and in general he has good rep. than Second, there have been links about full white players in the past too, so it's not like Freeman's situation is unprecedented.
Third, if Schiano is responsible, I just think he and his staff want to distance themselves from Freeman's failures and accordingly save their jobs. He could also be retaliating for Freeman's asking for a trade.
It could even be Freeman who leaked the records so he gets released and that 6.2 million in remaining salary.
I don't necessarily think Schiano hates Freeman because if this was true, why not trade the guy before the season started? Freeman has been given many chances and this season has so far been his worse. Maybe Schiano wants to move on, which itself isn't a unreasonable request. The Rams should consider moving on from Bradford too.
