Right. But the NFL has already been dealing with a rash of adverse publicity this season due to the number of players arrested for off-field incidents -- including that one player for the Chargers who was shot by the police before the season began.
But even when you add them all up it's less than a dozen players, which is really a pretty insignificant percentage of the league as a whole. Part of the problem is the press loves bad news, reporting on the over 1700 people that have been NFL starters last year without getting in trouble with the law just doesn't interest the press.
