Maybe The Steelers Should Add A New Contract "Rider"

I'm talking about prohibiting its players from riding motorcycles. First they almost lost Big Ben (and this after the Browns' Mr. Winslow was lost for a season due to a motorcycle accident). Now one of the team's running back's been arrested for trying to elude law enforcement officials on his motorcycle (among other charges).

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that these gentlemen athletes earn an incredible amount of money to perform athletic feats for their teams. If the athletes are injured/incarcerated because of accidents/offenses committed on motorcycles, doesn't the organization have the right to request that its players refrain from the potentially dangerous activity while under contract or at least forfeit their pay?

I remember when the Reds players couldn't sport facial hair (the same is true with the Yankees, I believe, even today). Attempting to protect your players' physical health doesn't appear any worse an inhibition to me, yet any time we're talking about restraining one's freedoms it makes me nervous.
