In many situations, football stars get away with too much stuff starting in HS. The best way to change the climate is for colleges and the NFL to not draft football players with criminal issues.
THAT would be a good start!
NEXT would be for those that ARE ‘jack armstrongs’, to start using their voice, their presence, and their money, towards rebuilding a better American image.

In that one specific way, baseball and hockey probably benefit from not having a super popular farm system. Much easier to weed out jerks before they make it to the big show, not that they still don’t get some for sure. Also easier to bench or suspend when you play so many more games.
