Should Teams Put No Motocycles Allowed In Players Contracts?

[beastson]

I'm talking from a business perspective, owner side of the fence. Players in a way are like those motorcycles they're driving to their team. Pretty damn valuable especially if you can play

A car you're way more protected assuming with your seat belt on, but a motorcycle hitting that pavement is going to do some damage. A car accident you just say oh damn. But hearing a motorcycle accident you panic more

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jtnc]

Yes and other dangerous stuff like Bull riding(Ochocinco).

[beastson]

Lol bull riding

[rico6]

I thought Big Ben had something like this in his contract after his accident?

I was just about to say something about Jay Williams Mr. TD such a shame. Coming from a heel

[PantherExpress]

As a ducati rider, I would say no, I love my bike. Motorcycle riding is one of the best stress relievers I've experienced and I believe it would be advantageous for some to be able to get a little break from the pressures of the nfl with a weekly ride. On the other hand, I could understand if something like this was implemented.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

no unprotected sex, too dangerous

[PhillyB]

yes.

also no rock climbing in case they fall.

also no traveling out of the country in case their planes crash.

also no drinking in case they get alcohol poisoning.

also no outdoor activities when cumulonimbus clouds are in the vicinity in case of lightning strikes. personal access to updated doppler radar data should be mandated for precautionary reasons.

also no flag football in case they break their arms.

IF YOU'RE A FOOTBALL PLAYER YOU PLAY FOOTBALL AND THAT'S ALL YOU DO.

This guy wishes they did:

his contract did have a "no motorcycles" clause...

[panthers55]

Most contracts do have provisions for the prohibition of dangerous activities. Problem is that many athletes are more likely to get injured riding back and forth to work every day than they are doing supposedly risky behaviors.

[Chaos]

No, you don't exclude motorcycle riding in a player's contract, because they will just find something else dangerous and risky to do in the offseason (perhaps - not everyone of course).

What you do is you build in a blanket "stupid" clause, where the owner/GM reserves the right to determine that if you do something stupid, they can fine the player or whatever other action they deem necessary. Slapping you with a garden hose, whatever.
