9:12Now PlayingA top draft pick for the NFL was punished for being caught smoking marijuana in a video that was posted on social media… ten minutes before the draft. Laremy Tunsil used a weed gas mask / bong, and it may have cost him eight million dollars. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Last night was supposed to be one of the best nights of Laremy Tunsil’s life. Instead, he’ll have to settle for it being one of the most memorable.
In case you missed the soap opera, the offensive tackle from Mississippi was expected to be one of the top picks in the NFL draft — most mock drafts projected he’d go somewhere between No. 3 and No. 6. But his night took an unfortunate turn when 10 minutes before the draft began, a video was posted on his Twitter account of Tunsil smoking a bong with a gas mask on.
The media immediately went into a frenzy, teams panicked, and the 21-year-old fell all the way to No. 13 in the draft, with the Miami Dolphins. There are estimates the bong video cost Tunsil $8 million.
Looking at last year’s draft, when Jameis Winston was drafted No. 1 despite the rape allegations against him and Frank Clark was the first draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks despite his history of domestic violence, it seems NFL teams are more scared of potential players smoking marijuana than they are of accusations of violence against women.”*
