Mental health is difficult for everyone. Black community is far behind when it comes to embracing it. Men are far behind as well.

If you need to force 4 sessions / hours of talking about your situation and feelings to move forward in your career, I think thats more than fair. At the very least to protect everyone.

And if he wanted to meditate again he needs it structured so its happening consistently

Yeah, someone above was saying that it's "fucked" to say he needed to attend therapy before training camp. I hard disagree. I think it's practical and ethical for a team to wonder if this guy is going to be a danger or a bad influence on the rest of their guys. I don't want a guy carrying a gun on the team plane around, the same way I don't want a dude going through an undiagnosed mental health episode or a drug problem near the team.

The USA has been in a mental crisis for almost 30 years now and nobody wants to address it.
