This is a bummer for Matt Jones.

When hanging out in Arkansas, it would probably be best not to do hard drugs in public. Unfortunately, this thought did not occur to the Jacksonville Jaguar’s wide receiver, who was busted chopping up lines in his car early Thursday morning. Police also found a jar with “marijuana residue,” which probably isn’t going to help Jones’ situation. Good luck, buddy.

For those of you who don’t know, Feudalism is a term used to describe the political system during the Medieval Age and since coining of the term in 1614, has been applied to multiple different societies throughout history. Feudalism is a system defined by three major parts, lords, vassals and fiefs. For accuracy, I refer to wikipedia:

The structure of feudalism can be seen in how these three elements fit together. A lord was a noble who owned land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief. In exchange for the fief, the vassal would provide military service to the lord. The obligations and relations between lord, vassal and fief form the basis of feudalism

Keep this definition in mind as I (attempt) to dissect an article published by the NY Times earlier today, June 5th.
