No questions that it is very sticky situation.. However, incidents at nightclubs have happened frequently.. Thus, it would make sense to do something to prevent it? But again, like someone in this thread said that many sports don't allow their players to participate in activities that could cause injuries, which really limit players' choices of activities.
I understand it would not be fair to limit players from activities, heck I would be totally pissed if my boss do that to me. But, it is part of being professional player, I believe. Professional players are role model for many people - they should do their best to be one. It is not like we would be banning players from participating in 'dangerous' activities forever, but only length of their career.
