https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/ex-girlfriend-leaks-video-of-dolphins-coach-snorting-cocaine-after-owner-backs-trumps-anthem-tantrum/
A model leaked video of a Miami Dolphins coach apparently snorting cocaine as revenge for the team owner backing President Donald Trump on player protests.
Kijuana Nige, a Las Vegas-based model, posted the video late Sunday on Facebook showing offensive line coach Chris Foerster snorting lines through a $20 bill inside Dolphins offices before a team meeting, reported the Miami New Times.
The white people mad at me like I forced blow down this mans nose and like I recorded it on tha low, she said after the video went viral. No those are his habits and he recorded himself and sent it to me professing his love. So quick to make excuses for him but will roast a minority player over an anthem, dog fights, weed, domestic issues etc. But yall keep saying ALL LIVES MATTER STFU‼️
If his ass was black they would be dragging him thru the (mud) face 1st, she added.

I'm surprised that there are still some people who don't know that.

(16,423 posts)I you want some real bang for the buck, mix your cocaine with alcohol: They react to Cocaethylene, which is an even stronger drug than cocaine and even worse for your heart.

(36,827 posts)The problem I have with misinformation sites is scare tactics are often counterproductive. Millions of people use illegal drugs and a minority of those who do will have serious problems. So younger people will eventually know friends, relatives, and neighbors that do drugs with few ill effects and decide public sources of information regarding drugs is pure bullshit. Then they tend to rely more on those friends, relatives, and neighbors for their information.
Alcohol actually is a very harmful drug. It's highly addictive with severe effects associated with that addiction. Yet most people drink socially and still manage to live reasonably healthy and productive lives. The same is true for pretty much all drugs to different degrees.
MousePlayingDaffodil
(748 posts). . . since you asked, I don't drink alcohol at all. I think drinking alcohol is bad for a person, and, at a minimum, I don't myself want to ingest calories that way. I prefer to get my empty calories from the occasional indulgence in "junk food."
Personally, I find the "social acceptability" of alcohol consumption to be unfortunate in the extreme, but that's just me.
And do I know any "lushes"? Well, since you asked, I did know two people you might so characterize -- i.e., two sisters-in-law, both alcoholics, one of whom committed suicide at the age of 47 and the other who died of liver failure at the age of 61. My own wife, thankfully, does not drink.
Any other questions?
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,040 posts)It is perfectly legal to protest.
It is perfectly legitimate to engage in respectful protest.
Taking a knee is more respectful than planning and staging an expensive taxpayer-paid protest involving Secret Service security and inconveniencing thousands of fans with security screening.
Blatantly breaking the law in team offices before a team meeting is disrespectful to say the least.
Yet you think you can come on here and condemn the woman for not being "classy" and think that excuses the illegal behavior of the team management?

(5,586 posts)Ex-girlfriend leaks video of Dolphins coach snorting cocaine after owner backs Trumps anthem tantrum.
The video released was of the offensive line coach. He's an employee, and he has no say in policy decisions of the Dolphins organization.
Steven Ross is the person who she has beef with. He's the dude that made the decision about the Dolphins players standing for the national anthem. But she decides to throw Chris Foerster, whom she apparently had a relationship with, under the bus.
Like i said, I'm glad she's not my friend.

(5,586 posts)The owner is the owner. He's a billionaire. He does billionaire things like own NFL clubs, buy yachts, date supermodels, and other super mega rich guy shit like that. If you wanted to lump the team's General Manager into that "blame" i wouldn't argue too much.
But the OL Coach is a clock puncher. He's well paid, but he's not consulted on positions like this in the organization. He shows up at 4:00 am, and he works for 16 hours on OL line game planning for next week until he leaves for the day and passes out. He cares about football and his players, and that's about it. And in Foerster's case, he apparently did coke to get through the day.

(31,886 posts)Cocaine is illegal.
If he doesn't what images/videos of himself doing coke on the web - then he
1. Shouldn't allow himself to be filmed/photographed
2. Shouldn't send the images around to people
If he can't do those - then perhaps he ought to not do the nose candy - show some self control.
Calista241
(5,586 posts)but ultimately he shared a private video with a girl he believed he was in a relationship with. And because that person was mad at her bosses bosses bosses boss, she decided to ruin his life.
I think it was dumb, she didn't help anything. She just succeeded in ruining the life of someone who cared about her.
The message being talked about on ESPN and other news sites is that the coach did coke. It's not that the owner made a decision about the flag protests. We are talking about that here, but most civilians out there that see 5 minutes of news a day, are seeing that an NFL coach snorted coke and was fired.

Life experiences differ at DU:
My cousin murdered by an addict in 1991 - I'll never forgive or forget.
My husband 8 surgeries in 2 years - destroyed hand, scapula, bicep ripped off - and he took alleve to get by after the first surgery where the heroin made him 'feel funny'.
Me Ankylosing Spondylitis - I don't even shoot up Embrel - I'll take a baby aspirin and manage through diet. I live with extreme pain EVERY single day of my life.
No sob stories for me - man up/woman up and get over it.

(279 posts)I agree that snorting coke on the job is grounds for being fired (especially if it impacts your ability to do that job). That doesn't change the fact that using a video someone sent you when you were in a relationship with them to ruin their career for no reason makes you a total piece of shit. You ever experiment with drugs? Think it would be cool for an ex to dig up some embarrassing and ill advised photo to ruin your career with it for no reason?
Additionally, many of us here believe in ending the drug war and not ruining people's lives for drug use that doesn't carry over into real crimes. I, for one, don't suspend that belief just because the person is white instead of a POC (who have been disproportionally harmed by our puritanical view of drugs in America).

I think its sad that his drug use had an adverse impact on his daughter. But unlike you, I don't condemn the man or judge him entirely on that one facet of his life.
So, to be clear, I neither support or oppose the coach's use of cocaine, just I neither support nor oppose George Carlin's use of cocaine.
You think the coach is deserving of condemnation but try to make excuses for Carlin because, well, he's not a football coach, I guess.

I feel bad for Ross. He supported the players for over a year but Trump changed the game. He says the kneeling no longer a race issue but about Trump so he wanted the players to do something new. Thus, they did. Not sure it is the right way to go.

(4 posts)Exactly how does the leaking of this video affect the team management? It seems the only victim here is the assistant coach. He lost his job, and rightly so. I'm not sure how this video can be linked to minority suppression. It's clearly a woman scorned seeking revenge on her ex-lover; nothing to do with racism. But she sites that as the reason she released the video. Her logic is flawed.
Johonny
(20,888 posts)so this in no way affects Miami. They can't play worse without this coach.

"I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions," Foerster said in a statement.
"I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals."
The Dolphins also issued a statement saying, "We were made aware of the video late last night and have no tolerance for this behavior."

Come for my sympathy when he's branded a felon, given an insane mandatory minimum, and passed over for jobs because of an arrest record.
Also, "Ex-girlfriend" is the wrong identifier because unless they started dating before 1985 (when he married his wife), she's his ex-mistress.

I do not yet speak of last summer's visit to the locked psych ward.
Does anyone here believe Trump hasn't participated in some pathetic coke fueled adventure?
I once had a coke fueled and free rum-and-cola adventure in Las Vegas. I started with $64 at the table, ran it up to a thousand in 18 hours, and fell back to $64, at which point I crawled away. Stumbling back to our motel room, I saw one of my compadres collapsed in the gutter of a bus stop. I pulled him up, fearing a bus would run over him, and we staggered back to our hotel room to watch god-knows-what on TV. Some movie about men in uniforms.
My off-my-meds stories are much better.
