I've been watching with interest how the sports world is treating this story. There seems to be a general agreement that a sports star like BR should have been wearing a helmet, and that he has a responsibility to the team due to his value. When I heard that argument, my thought was that becasue he is wealthy he'd be a prime candidate to be allowed to drive a motorsicle san brain bucket. Why? Because unlike a poor Hell's Angel, Roethlisberger has the money and insurance to cover the medical expenses should he have been left a vegitable.
It's the poor who need to be covered in bubble wrap and let out to play only in rubber rooms with no sharp edges since we as a society have to pay for their stupidity. But a rich dude can afford all the costs that a helmet-less existence can charge, thus he should be free to do as he wills.
Any disagreements with my conclusion?
