They’re not sending us their best. They’re sending their rapists..........
Tried to read the entire article. The links both say the data is unavailable. Went on the USAToday site to see the entire article and again, the article has been wiped clean.
Is The NFL successfully squelching USA Today?!?
I swear the link worked when I posted it. Isn’t this intersting?
Link works for me
You may have been compromised by the Russians.
The N***** Felon League is filled with a bunch of thugs taken out of the hood. What do you expect from it?
They are a thug league.
NFL lost THE GAME.
That’s a good link; it’s a database not an article. I think somebody posted it yesterday in a thread as well.

Well said. Great comment!
NFL lost THE GAME.

The fans have thrown the flag on them for unsportsmanlike conduct and have ejected the game.
That’s just the ones who didn’t get the benefit of being let off by cop fans and pay offs by owners.
This theme should not be promoted.
When it is looking at the small group that the NFL represents, exclusively, the arrest rate looks high. That is mainly because it is not being compared to anything else. When it is compared with national arrest rates in the “all males in the NFL age group” the “NFL rate” is lower than the national rate.
A lot of these guys are perpetratin' the thug mentality.
Rich people get away with more.
“A lot of these guys are perpetratin’ the thug mentality.”
You are right in one sense, but the data does not support that their rate of “thugishness” is higher than the national average for men in their age group, in fact their rate is lower.
A lot of it is perception, because they are public figures their arrests make the news and get remembered by the public, compared to all the anonymous ones the public does not hear about.
That issues is the same as the perception error that activist “blacks” perpetuate - that they are “racially” singled out for arrests and being shot by cops, disproportionately. But there again the data does not support that either, and again the public perception is driven in part by the large public notoriety every time a “black” suspect is shot.
Many of those who you would compare them to have none of those things. A high percentage of people arrested are poor, on drugs, and live in a culture where criminal behavior is the norm and expectations are not high. Pro football players don't.
With all their life circumstances, they SHOULD have a very low arrest rate. Shouldn't they?
A lifetime of being treated like this causes a sense of entitlement and invulnerability. Think of how many times football players should have been arrested but were not. I bet its a lot but there are no stats for that. I call it "football privilege" haha.
