The Tennessee Titans petitioned for a court order to prevent PacMan Jones from participating with TNA at an upcomming event. Since he has been suspended for a year, should he be allowed to seek employment elsewhere?

One one hand, The Titans have a sizable amount of money invested in PacMan Jones, and possibly have a right to protect that investment. The majority of NFL players have contract stipulations which prevent them from participating in "dangerous" activities. I know wrestling is scripted, but there are a number of professional wrestlers who are seriously injured every year. So I think that the Titans do have a right to try and stop Jones from injuring himself. However, Kevin Green and Brian Urlacher have both participated in Professional Wrestling. And since PacMan has been suspended for a year, I don't know how much his contract with the Titans really stands for right now. I think it's pretty darn hypocritical of the NFL to keep him from earning a living while they have decided not to pay him. PacMan Jones definitly should be allowed to perform in a wrestling ring, if that is what he decides to do.

Jones is still under contract with the Titans. His contract, like that of all NFL players, has a clause which prohibits any activity in which there is a high injury risk.
The reason he is not allowed to play is because of the suspension he has been given by the NFL, and that is no one else's fault but his.
It was a good move by the Titans to block Pac man from wrestling. They would be foolish to not protect their interests.

No, the Titans still have him under contract and the all fake wrestling deal could result in an injury. Titans have every right to block him from doing that.

if you can drive a sports car,or ride a motorcycle,why cant you wrestle?and where can i get a copy of PAC man contract,since everyone seems to have read it but me.all contracts are not the same.rothleisberger didn't get fined or susp when he had his motorcycle accident without a helmet.which is more dangerous....that or fake wrestling?
i don't think the higher courts will allowed the NFL to stop a man from earning a living.

I do not think he should be allowed to violate his contract, but I do think he should be allowed to participate in wrestling as long as he is not physically involved, i.e. he should be allowed to be a commentator.

It is against his contract plain and simple, if he wants to wrestle he should give up the NFL

Pacman Jones should be in prison.

Yes, the guy should be allowed to make a living and not just stay home and be miserable all day.

its in his contract that he cant do other activities that he could get hurt in. he signed it, they didnt force him, so no he shouldnt be able to.
