The N.F.L. became the first sports league to create a formal gun policy in 1996, in an attempt to curtail gun ownership by players. The policy also discourages keeping registered guns at home.

I can see why the NFL cares about steroids, but why should they care who owns a gun?

several players said... some athletes have volatile tempers and a disagreement on the field could turn into a gun incident

Yeah. And before you know it, we'll be seeing Wild West Shootouts in the end zone after every touchdown. Things like that are inevitable when everybody is packing, including the Packers!
