will or should Pro-teams include bans on Nightclubs/Bars in contracts?

[4fifteenRolla]

Im thinkin about all the shit that goes down with these Athletes from College to Pro level and what goes down. Think back to Ray Lewis and his murder rap back in ATL for the superbowl, homie for the Bears and leading up til now. I think its happening more and more and teams are going to start having to look at what their players do on their personal time. Let one or two more athletes get killed (the way black men gettin killed in the US, it wont be long espcially to hit a well known star like a Kobe, Mike Vick etc.) and im sure their will be a buzz about it.


any thoughts?

If I was Coach I definitely would.

The list of athletes getting injured, arrested, or killed during late night club nights must be huge

 

[MURK]

for sure..

Maybe during the season.

But it would crazy to try and restrict someone for going to a club/bar during the off-season.

i dont think it will be just for the season. what good is that gonna do if a playe gets killed in the offseason after the draft?

 

[AC Transit]

oh hell no - if i was an athlete and my agent had that included in my contract, he'd be fired so fast so quick.

It's not fair to restrict an athlete from doing certain things on his own time. Taking drugs and doing shit that's illegal should be banned, understandably. But going to night clubs and parties? No. That's none of their business. If that shit were to be implied to anyone else with a normal job they would be taken to court immediately. Athletes are entertainers, nothing more. If they want to party let them party.. They shouldn't be treated more importantly than the average person.

 

[4fifteenRolla]

they are entertainers. but they are also highly paid puppets. so we'll see if the trand continues what goes down.

People fail to realize that athletes are people, too. Maybe some of them started the altercations which caused them harm. I know for a FACT that Ken Hamlin was the one who instigated the fight that kept him sidelined for a full season. Am I justifying athletes getting shot and beat up? No. But maybe they need to know when to shut up. Fame can make a muthafucka REAL big headed.

 

[4fifteenRolla]

^^i dont think anyone is arguin the opposite of that.

i know 4 a fact those mf's stroll thru the clubs thinkin they glowin like Jesus - blame that on the groupy hoes

 

[D'struction]

dudes are grown ass men. who's place is it to tell them when they can or can't hit up a bar or a club. that would be fuckin gay! some dudes do need to smarten up tho...look at the Bengals.

 

[Defy]

if I were in that position and someone told me I'm not allowed to have a social life after 10pm I'd tell them to take that multi-million dollar contract and shove it up your ass........well after the first year at least, I gotta get something


but f'real, there should always be an inclusion of dangerous activities, but even that gets out of hand....I heard some players in denver weren't allowed to ski....thats insane....in reality these are adults. they know what goes on at functions yet still choose to go. its on them if shit happens. trust me the players would strike if something like this was included in contracts

If I'm a black man earning 7 figures and I choose to go out, I ain't taunting any black dudes I see in the club, period.

Playing in the NFL or NBA is an ego boost enough, I'm already pretty darn secure in my masculinity. I ain't taunting anybody, especially not another group of black dudes. Racist or smart? Probably a little bit of both.
