"Revealed: TWENTY SEVEN NFL Players Have Been Arrested Since The Super Bowl... Including Two For Murder"
THat’s why the Stupor Bowl and every other NFL game is called ‘thugball’!
National Felon League
27 democrat voters arrested?
I heard some NFL official shrugging it off by saying that its really nothing because there are some 3000 players. I hate to tell him but the national murder rate is only around 10 per 100,000 citizens.
Somehow the problem of performance enhancing drugs in baseball doesn’t seem so important to me compared to some pretty serious violence in Football.
In the case of Hernandez, it looks like it may be multiple murders and at least 1 attempt.
How does this compare to the House & Senate ?
either by % or head count .
‘No NFL for me today, thanks.’
Problem is with the NFL is that, “denial is NOT a river in Egypt.”
Or by one Obama White House?
Blaming the NFL for players off field and off season activities is ridiculous - the NFL is not a baby sitter -
There are no W-2’s issued in the NFL, players are not employees. These “players” are all 1099 corporations complete with their own lawyers, managers, etc.
All 27 of these corporations should be held to themselves or blame the union they pay a fee to interface with the NFL.
Do you blame IBM when one of its employees gets a DUI?
The last Super Bowl I watched was San Francisco-Cincinnati, part 2. Maybe some plays here and there since then but the game is too long and when advertisements get as much publicity as the game itself then I know I haven’t missed much.
But remember, very high visable folks.
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and the Aaron Hernandez thing I think has provided the straw that broke the camel’s back...but I think I’m going to take the year off from football (both college and pro), and it may be permanent. I can’t relate to the players on the field anymore. It’s no longer a source of joy for me. Plus the stories of former player’s with health problems has also contributed to how I feel now about the game.
I don’t blame the NFL, I blame the players.
Good thing you included college in there as well. It’s WAY worse than the NFL when it comes to criminals between the white lines, on the sidelines and in the college offices.
I want UF to look at what they knew about Hernandez’s gang ties while he was there.
I gave up on the NFL when the Baltimore Colts left for Indianapolis. Regarding the twenty seven - must be all the hits to the head.
We beat you to it. The Vols have been doing that for the better part of a decade. Do the Gators have ladies' gymnastics? If you're looking for another spectator sport...
Yep!
But remember, very high visable folks.

Did you know who Aaron Hernandez was at the beginning of the 2012 football season?
I’m sure the only reason I know who he is is due to the fact that the ravens have played new england a few times, regular season and playoffs since he was drafted.
You’d have to be a pretty big football wonk or a UF fan to know who a 2nd string tight end is.
