So I saw a prominent Texans player at a local establishment last night. Yes, I do have pictures, but my intent isnt to throw the guy under the bus. My problem is that he left on a motorcycle. Isn't this a clear violation of a standard NFL contract? And even if it isn't, it just made me mad that this guy would put himself at that kind of risk.
I say live your life. If you want to ride a bike. Ride it. Life is much easier to enjoy when don't worry about other people's lives.
I'm no expert, but I don't think it's a violation unless it's specifically put in the contract by the team. And riding a bike really isn't that dangerous if you ask me, as long as you're smart, safe, and not an idiot on it like Roethlisberger was.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure any violation would have to be of a clause in said player's contract. However, it is my understanding that nixing motorcycle transport is a pretty standard clause for most contracts...so odds are whoever it is is violating a clause. My guess would be Mario Williams.
Just out of curiousity, do you get mad at anyone that puts themselves at risk riding motorcycles, or just pro athletes of the teams you follow?
I don't think motorcycle riding is a violation in all contracts, it's probably becoming much more prevelant but it's not standard.
someone needs to do that, if some wise ass hasnt done it already, wear their football helmet when riding their bike.
Good for him. I hope he was wearing gear, but motorcycling is a relatively safe activity and excellent mode of transport. He's a lot less likely to get in an accident on the bike than in a car, and if he's wearing safety gear, he's pretty safe even if does get in an accident. If half of Houstonians would trade their cars for motorcycles, then pollution, traffic, and parking issues would be significantly alleviated.
I was trying not to use some of the more graphic pics. If you do a search for "motorcyclist hits truck", you can find the full range of these pics. It happened in Tulsa last year.
Anyone who rear ends a semi is likely to die no matter what kind of transportation they use. Bikes are just more graphic.
