Now his career is very much at stake, and if his career disappears, it's not much of a stretch of the imagination to think that his entire life could spiral out of anything resembling control, if it hasn't already. His employer is being patient and generous. Of course, they're hoping that their generosity pays dividends later. His family cares, and I hope for his sake that they are motivated by a genuine, caring love. Football aside, this is just a young man in crisis. At this stage, it's time to try everything and hope that something works.

Which is why the guy gets so much hate. It's not like he's depressed, he is just making dumb decision after dumb decision. I understand the reasons for him getting help, but that doesn't justify him getting himself in trouble so many times in the first place.
