Driving a car or being a passenger in a car can get you killed or injured much worse than any game of football. A pick-up game of basketball can get you injured as well. Is Greedy giving up all of these? What are the odds of injuries occurring in ONE game compared to getting in a car accident? Might be more, who knows. The point is that quitting on your team to avoid possible injuries is stupid, wrong, and selfish. What's he going to do in the pros when his contract is up for renegotiation? Quit, so he doesn't lose money from being injured? That's what NFL owners are being told by his actions. They are not going to pay him as much as they might have been willing to because of what he has done and he did it to himself.

NFL contracts usually prohibit players from participating in any kind of pick up game, or other physical sports, they do not prohibit players from driving cars, they probably had some very smart people assess the risk of various activities.

This is just idiotic. NFL people don't give 2 shites about the bowl game either way. They only care how well he can can cover NFL receivers. Dude will get paid based on where he's drafted which will be very high in the 1st round
