Bears wide receiver, who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder a couple of seasons ago, has a lengthy rap sheet including some domestic violence issues. Marshall has turned his life around and become a HUGE advocate for mental health awareness. During the Bears’ recent Thursday night game Marshall wore bright green cleats to promote Mental Health Awareness, for which he was fined. He matched the fine with a personal contribution.
Marshall took to Twitter to respond to Meriweather:
There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing #MachineMarshall

Meanwhile, you’ve got Meriweather who’s taken his issues and recent fines and this is the spin he’s put on it:
"“I guess I just got to take people’s knees out,” Meriweather said Monday morning in the Redskins’ locker room. “That’s the only way. I would hate to end a guy’s career over a rule, but I guess it’s better other people than me getting suspended for longer. “You just have to go low now, man. You’ve got to end people’s careers. You got to tear people’s ACLS and mess up people’s knees. You can’t hit them high anymore.”"
Which guy would YOU rather have???
