Steelers | Roethlisberger injured in motorcycle accident
Mon, 12 Jun 2006 09:11:04 -0700
KDKA.com reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (head) has been injured in a motorcycle accident around 11:30 am Monday, June 12. The team has confirmed Roethlisberger was injured. He was not wearing a helmet when he flew over the handlebars and hit his head on the windshield of a car, according to an eyewitness. The witness added Roethlisberger seemed groggy and was bleeding from his head, but was able to say his first name. He has been taken to Mercy Hospital, but officials are not commenting on his condition.
Mainefan said:I think this should finally convince NFL teams to enforce any contract provisions about dangerous activities. Millions are invested in these players and the investment can be lost in a millisecond. It's this sort of thing that tells me some players are still kids--not full adults.
I don't wish ill on Big Ben, but if he were to miss half a dozen games as a result of this accident, it might prevent a lot of problems in the future, for all teams and players.
Not all teams have those provisions in their contracts. This came up last year with Rothlesburger after the Winslow accident, and the Steelers don't have such a provision in there like the Browns did.Mainefan said:I think this should finally convince NFL teams to enforce any contract provisions about dangerous activities. .
T-ShirtDynasty said:Yuppers. Like everyone, you hate to see it happen, and DO hope he's okay.... but sorry.. His ridiculous comments about motorcycle safety and especially wearing a helmet, last year after the Kellen Winslow farce, was like praying to the Gods of Karma and asking passionately for your own accident. The Steeler's organization should have done something about this last year, I'll bet they will now.
