Point number 1 - you could get killed in a car wreck on your way to 7-11. Yes you could. But you're a lot more likely to get hurt on an ATV than you are on a car. That's why medical insurance premiums for motorbikes are higher than for cars.

Point number 2 - I'm not trying to tell anyone what they can or can't do. I never said there was anything contractually preventing Rabach from riding an ATV. There's nothing illegal about it. I respect that it's his decision to make. All I'm doing is criticizing him for making a poor decision. He can choose what he wants to do, but guess what, I'm free to judge him on his decisions if I want to.

Point number 3 - Football players get paid to risk paralysis every time they suit up. If they didn't suit up and risk the paralysis, they wouldn't earn the millions of dollars. If they don't hop on an ATV, they don't risk paralysis, AND they keep their million dollar salary.

Yes I'm going to criticize a football player for riding an ATV. By doing so he's jeopardizing his ability to play football in the future, which is precisely what allows him to earn millions per year.

Keep trying to tell everyone how they should live their life, Hillary...

As long as he doesn't get burned on a stunt I couldn't care less.

Again, I'm not telling anyone what to do. I don't get what's so hard to understand here. I just think it's stupid.

Is the point of being flithy freaking rich??? F that, if I had that kinda money I would be doing bungee jumps off Anacostia bring. You seriously cant expect someone to conform to what you think is "smart". The guy was having fun, and there are plently of things that are more dangerous than ATVs, and that pt has been made, yet you ignore it. I am sure anyone at thewarpath, would ride on ATVs if they were on Skins. Now if your a lil scaredy cat and you dnt want to ride ATVs, then thats ok, thats your personal opinion of what is "smart". People get hurt all the time for alot of other things. Does that make them stupid as well(for playing bball, swiming, playing with their kids, etc???). Oh no during the offseason all players should just be put into a lil box, and feed with a tube. That should solve the problem, or better yet why dont we have the players stay at Skins park 24/7!! That would solve the problem entirely, just take away their life. This argument has more crap in it then the DonJohn across the street.

There is an easy solution to all of this. If a player gets hurt doing something other than football and can not play, he does not get paid and he does not count against the teams salary cap.
Easy!
Although the cheap owners would say no to my proposal because this will cut into the money these cheap skates pocket each year.

I would have to disagree with you on that. Plenty of people get injured outside of work, are forced to miss time, and still get paid.
