Are NFL Players All Criminals? Or just mostly criminals?

[Tuberski]

The answer, FWIW, is zero.

NFL players rarely get arrested during the season either.

The NFL offseason is much longer than the NHL offseason, as well.

ACK!

[Hauldren Collider]

Most of the NFL is black, while the NHL is white. What are you trying to imply, Asher? Get out. ****ing Canadian racists.

[Al B. Sure!]

The criminal rate among NFL players is actually BELOW the rate for their demographics.

It probably helps that they have good lawyers and don't have to rob liquor stores to buy drugs.

With the exception of comparisons of blacks and whites, Nowhere did it say "their demographics". They were below the general population. BIG difference.
What do you think would have been the result if they compared the rate to those of other RICH and FAMOUS people. I won't waste any time looking for such research but I'll bet that they wouldn't rate out as well.

Compared to actors, musicians, etc?

How many NHL players were arrested this year?

Not very many I think, but how many Vancouver fans were arrested this year?

If only NFL players restricted their misbehavior to DUIs and public dissipation...

[Docfeelgood]

Too much testosterone makes people do stupid things.

Fortunately, Vancouver fans are not actually hockey fans.

[Hauldren Collider]

No true scotsman.

[Asher]

I suppose you're rather proud of such a pedestrian observation?

Hell, a huge portion of the Canucks rioters weren't even white folk. Obviously not hockey fans.





Canucks fans are fans of Swedish incest, flamboyant Italians, and general thuggery. Not hockey.

It's the repeated concussions.

Don't know if you were joking or not, but it very well could be a factor.

As could performance-enhancing drugs.

But mostly the alpha-male consequence-free environment.


I'd be interested to see how many NHL players get arrested over the off-season.

[Guynemer]

None.

Gary Bettman, on the other hand, should be arrested.

Already used my thanks.
