Source claims Eric Reid lied about how many times he was tested

Reid's claims (if true) reflects negatively on the nfl. The Hunt incident only reflects negatively on him (and only if it surfaces). The league is in the business of making money, they don't care about political statements, wife beating or world hunger if it doesn't affect the bottom line (and they shouldn't be expected to).

Problem is that they made political statements part of their bottom line. If they weren't getting paid for the anthem there wouldn't be all this push back from them over some guys advocating social justice.

There are plenty of well-compensated, gainfully employed players who have protested during the anthem over the past few years. 

This may speak to what sets Reid apart from his peers—a toxic, me-first attitude within the locker room.

This thread sure tells you a lot about some of the posters around here, heh.

Doesn't make sense that Reid would lie about this... He has a lot to lose.   My suspicion is the nfl source stating that reid was inaccurate is referring to Reid combining mandatory and random drug tests when he declared 7 tests on social media... Reid did differentiate these things at other times clearly but seven is what has stuck... We will see.

I’m not saying with ironclad proof that he’s toxic. Read again what I wrote. (the word MAY, namely.)

I’m laying out a theory that perhaps he’s been singled out because he’s not a good dude. Why else would dozens of others who protested during the anthem be employed, without issue?

I’m taking a deeper dive into the issue, one that doesn’t involve skin color.

Regardless of the drug tests, the league has made it clear how they feel about Eric Reid. Same with Colin Kaepernick. Eric and Colin just need to keep doing what they're doing. All they have to do is merely show their faces or make a comment now and bigots practically line up just to get angry and froth at the mouth over the sight of a black man expressing himself. It's quite illuminating.

Update: Reid and his attorneys reject the NFLs findings, stating that some of the dates used were incorrect and asked for a public correction.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
