This whole organization smells like shit.
Burn this motherfucker down already.

The medical staff told trent to get it looked at by a specialist. He did. The specialist told him to have surgery. He didn't. Then he lies, said they endangered his life by telling him it was not dangerous. And he's doing it because he wants more money.

Sorry, but the team should be allowed to defend themselves. Trent cant be allowed to slander the reputations of the good men and women on the medical staff with impunity simply because he's a greedy SOB that wants more money.

Also, i'm pretty sure that players sign some sort of authorizations with teams that they are allowed to share medical information. They would have to, as teams regularly release information regarding the players medical condition for on and off the field injuries.

I get that but you are treating this like an isolated incident.
You can't just blame the player every time. This isn't a Su'a Cravens situation, respected players are speaking out.

No everyone has an axe to grind. This shit is just reality at Redskins Park.


Here is a comment Tim Hightower made on @redskinstoday instagram in regards to Casserlys comments about TW.

Hightower is using a strawman fallacy. He's claiming that Casserly said Trent chose not to treat his illness because he wanted more money. Thats not what Casserly said at all. He said Trent didnt heed the specialists advice (presumably not a member of the redskins staff) that he have surgery. Then 3 years later, Trent is asking for more money. One was not related to the other.

What Hightower is saying is that if a doc had explained the severity to him 3 years ago, Trent would not have ignored it. I imagine it was somewhere in the middle, the staff told him he might want to get it checked out just to be safe. It probably wasnt even cancerous when the Skins staff told Trent something about it.

Casserly needs to watch it though. The NFLPA statement was saying he essentially violated HIPAA by using an anonymous source (cough Bruce cough) to disclose Trent's private medical information. The NFLPA statement was also saying they wont stand by and allow one sided "anonymous sources" to be published on the NFL Network to smear an NFL player.

I work peripherally with HIPAA and it only applies to medical organizations doing the disclosure .. so Casserly is not subject to a HIPAA violation but Id bet Bruce may be as part of the Skins and perhaps CBA language.

Authorizations are for allowing authorizations for medically necessary and related purposes, usually to a defined and named parties ... not for being leaked to the media to smear a patient in public.

It all stinks, Bruce sucks, Trent should have been traded and we should be sitting on 2 top 10 draft picks ... instead we get to play the leak game where fans sit around and decide how much or how little to trust each individual anonymous" leak ... one drip at a time.
