Actually his agent has already made the comment that the team could try to sue him for breach of contract but since the contract doesn't specifically call out motorcycles and/or equipment to wear while riding they would loose. Several teams do call out specifically that sort of thing.

Life is dangerous. He could have suffered the same injuries crossing the street. How we each live our life is up to each of us.

No argument, but I've also known people to get A15'd for getting bad sunburns (bad enough to impair their ability to either do their job, or to actually wear the uniform) off-hours, so it's a possibility.

However, it would be a "performance contract" - meaning that, during the term of the contract, he would make an effort to maintain and preserve, off-hours, the ability to fulfil the contractural obligation. Failure to do so can constitute breach, for which he could be sued (or the contract nullified, at the least.) It's a civil matter, but one that could still go to court. What you're talking about is the difference between explicit conditions and implicit conditions, it seems.

Well, part of what you refer to is the military and doesn't translate to a football team.

The other section tho is pretty well researched. Yes, they can try to sue but it would be doubtful they would win. They could dump him but I sorta suspect another team will be waiting to pick him up. The next team may insert something to that effect into his contract.
