One person responded: "If you look at the NFLs history of suspensions this is really messed up. Tom Brady literally got caught cheating in a playoff game, sent a team home and won the Superbowl and got less games. People get less game suspensions for domestic abuse. Wtf is this."

One fan said: "Actually his character has alway been a question from breaking down on the field and flipping off Refs to not practicing, flipping off fans on the road, and now PED'S....."
prevnextVaccine Mention
DeAndre Hopkins being an anti-vaxxer but using PEDs is the joke that keeps writing itself.
— Kristoffer, God of Hammers (@TheBoyWhoWrote) May 2, 2022
The fan continued: "This is how you know, for athletes specifically, their anti-vaxxer stances are born out of pure ignorance. You claim to not want anything "unnatural" in your body, but you don't hesitate to use PEDs or get that half-time injection when your leg is practically broken in half."

One fan responded: "He wasn't using a diuretic to mask the substance or he would have received 8 games. Could indicate he didn't know he was taking an illegal substance or it was accidental. But that's not a good talking point for your show, I guess."
prevnextAnother Vaccine Mention
DeAndre Hopkins willing to take PEDs but not a vaccine LMAOOOOOO
— Ryan Ray (@RyanHR25) May 2, 2022
Another person mentioned: "With all due respect, there is a pretty significant difference between hormones that are used every day throughout the world for decades and a new vaccine . 100% pro vaccine, but its not really at all the same."
prevnextCalvin Ridley Comparison
DeAndre Hopkins suspended only 6 games for violating the performance enhancing drug policy but Calvin Ridley gets suspended an entire season for betting on a game he didn’t play in…interesting 🤔

The Twitter user continued: "and I don't need y'all to get all lawyer on me about why Ridley got his punishment. The inconsistencies of how players are punish and to what degree is WACK."

And this fan wrote: "He knew it was illegal. Took the risk now he pays for it. Could have done it the old fashioned way with hard work."
