"May" is the key word here. If he has a family and friends, it DOES matter.
Someone asked what I think when I see people on cycles. For about the half of them that drive like lunatics, weaving in and out of lanes, driving between cars in lanes, speeding, crossing 4 lanes on a freeway at once with no signal, etc., I just pray that the driver who squashes them someday isn't traumatized for life. Especially when the first nice weather day hits. Some go berserk. Most riders are safe, but I worry for them because one bad move by them or a car or truck and they are in a world of hurt compared to someone in a car.
I know someone who had a cycle turn in front of him when he was a young kid. Killed the guy. Not a scratch on the kid. Not his fault. But it will be with him forever.
Yes, of course, I don't mean to sound utterly unfeeling. My point is that someone who takes millions of dollars for the phenomenal operation of their body on the field of play has a special responsibility to ensure the care of that body. His actions can swing millions of dollars one way or another (jobs and revenue from merchandise, playoff games, hotels, bars, etc.)
The average guy, though loved by family and friends and perhaps even a crucial part of his business doesn't have the same magnitude of duty to preserve his body from harm.
