sad, all athletes need to stay off of motorcycles

Don't some of them have sections of their contracts that forbid them from engaging in dangerous activities such as motorcycle riding?

Some do. Not really common I don't think.

They should all be shown the photo of Ben RottenLinberger's destroyed bike before they leave for the offseason...

I'm pretty sure Rothleisberger and Winslow were both in violation of their contracts. Ben wasn't even wearing a helmet. I recall Reggie White also had a clause about no motorcycles. He had one, but apparently all he did was drive it around his driveway.

Eveyone should stay away from those things. It's too easy to hurt yourself and if you have kids you could really put your family in a bind if you can't work. Especially if you haven't made millions up to that point.

You might wanna add stay away from strip clubs on that list
