A Capitals Prospect Posted Then Deleted An Instagram Video Of Him Hitting A Huge Blunt

Even if you're in the minors, this isn't a good move for @TheHersheyBears. The post was deleted and had about 118 views. pic.twitter.com/vXc6Dp48xr

Look, I don't particularly care that Capitals draft pick Madison Bowey proved that marijuana does - indeed - have temporary effects on the brain by posting a video of himself taking a pull off a FAT blunt and then trying to give the viewing audience a second hand high. Cleary he's a young, immature moron that failed to tune in for the first round of the NFL draft, but - all things considered - there's more detrimental ways a 21 year old kid could be tarnishing his career than by going full Wiz Khalifa for the world to see.

That's why I would rather not crush the kid for his minor league decision making, and instead bring attention to the first comment under his now deleted Instagram video. I have to be honest. I laughed out loud when I read "Damn cuh Barry trotz ain't got like this". I imagine that the Venn Diagram of people that are familiar with AHL players and those that use the word "cuh" conversationally intersects at stolt_igen, and only stolt_igen. That's not even to feed into the stereotype that black people typically don't like hockey either. I know plenty of white people that speak like that too, and none of them have an intricate knowledge of the Washington Capitals farm system. Truthfully? I wish they did, because the more social media commentary that reads hysterically out of place the better - even if it's not under a video of an NHL prospect hitting the ganj like it had it's head down while coming across the blue line.
