Exactly, we should not be calling people losers...
Dudes, this is not the first time or the last that he smoked/bought weed. And even after his "punishment" which really shouldn't be anything at all he will go back to smoking...just like all the other dudes on the team.
Put it into context...think if you lived in the dorms and got busted for booze/pot...you get "in trouble" take a class on booze/pot awareness, get yelled at by mom/dad...you promised not to do it again and next week you are doing it again.
I know the classic response will be "Yeah, but the kid in the dorms isn't letting down his entire team" but honestly, the players don't look at it like that.
You think that he had the pot in the car and Antonio Reed looked over at him from the passenger seat and said "Man, Stanley, I don't know about this, we have practice coming up in August, plus, if you smoke this stuff now, it might make it more difficult for you to catch a big pass on 3rd and 6 against Ark, State...I mean...we got a great chance to win 8 or 9 games this year...but only if you lay off this gateway drug"
