I did a quick search for a similar study on NFL players and could not find one.

Interesting NFL stat...50 players account for 122 incidents.

Wrong thread.

Thats nothing compared to the seriousness of a lot of the NFL players crimes.

I agree. I'm for the legalization of marijuana and am completely dumbfounded by the crimes that the NFL players have committed.

If you multiplied the NBA rosters to the same number of NFL rosters then I don't think there is an argument. I do think it's gotten worse in the NFL thanks to the Bengals:) I think Goodell has started straightening a lot of it up though. It's going to keep getting tougher too IMO. It's easy for me to cast stones but when I step back and think about being a 21 year old from the hood that just got handed MILLIONS I don't know what I would be doing either. We don't know the background of a lot of these guys. I know they are wrong and I could care less if they ever play another down but I also think it's easy to jump the gun. (No pun intended)

And NBA players don't commit serious crimes? Didn't a former NBA player shoot someone not to long ago? Jason Williams?

Found this quote from another website interesting...

 

The interesting question is which will happen first: will the NFL and NBA become so infected with criminality that they cease to be a mainstream taste, or will the mainstream -- which now embraces hip-hop fashion in middle-class suburbs -- continue its downward spiral and meet the leagues halfway? If the latter scenario prevails, it will be time to adapt Richard Nixon's famous utterance about Keynesian economics and concede that we're all hip hoppers now.

Richard Collier of the Jaguars was shot a few months ago and lost his leg. Forgot to add him to the list.

Speaking of NFL problems, they have the Chargers and the Raiders playing on the NFL Network tonight...

I'm just getting tired of mouthy hotshot wide receivers.
