The violence is largely a black issue in the NFL. Oops! I forgot. No one is supposed to actually admit that.

Yes, I was noticing a commonality among the NFL players all over the news for the past few days.

Two things occur to me: there is not an appropriate demographic of arrests of Caucasian NFL players or there is not a proportionate representation of race among NFL players, to the population at large.

The problem with football players goes back to HS, in those towns where the varsity football teams are treated like gods. An example is an OH town two years ago (or so) had a horrific situation with three players who were drinking at a party raping a drunk young lady. The party was permitted by adults, and school officials and coaches tried very hard to cover up the incident.

That's where the solution has to start. Colleges and the NFL might also consider not having players whose behavior record would otherwise eliminate those players from consideration for college acceptance or a job.
