Why do NFL players have more run ins with the law than the other leagues??

[G-Zeus]

the very basic of the sports will give you a good idea...

basketball = finest

football = roughness


mentality has to go with it.

 

[heisenburrr]

just read that with Hernandez arrest it's now been roughly 35 NFL players arrested since Superbowl

 

[Kenny West]

you got a league full of top tier athletes. lots of hyper aggressive testosterone fueled dudes . some are straight out the hood.

and the rosters are a lot bigger than most sports

 

[Carlos Huerta]

alot of nfl players come straight from the hood playing on ghetto high school football teams


most nba players are either country or from a rich suburb playing at prestigious prep ,I know alot of you c00n nikkas aint trying to here that but most them basketball nikkas is corny

A football play only last's a few seconds, you have NO time to think...So when it's on, you either know how to "crush" your opponent or you don't...

If you don't know, you get crushed...But there is NO time to think...

So, when this is what you have been trained to do from the time you could walk...I think it becomes a learned behaviour...

You don't think...You just react to the situation...

This post makes the most sense, flight or flight mentality while on and off the field

Because football hits are more potent

America doesn't build them up to kill people.

Stop acting like this is societies problem. There's thousands of players who have half a brain and aint murdering anyone or beating people down.

I do believe you get a lot of the Alpha male types playing the game, and alpha male types tend to get into some shyt at times. Check any prison

Really?

We are talking about murder in Hernandez's case right now

LOL @ 'too far'

seriously?

I was speaking in generalities, not specifically the Hernandez case.

But when people who are paid to hurt people for a living hurt people off their job site too...

Whose paid to hurt people?

Hernandez was a tight-end, that isn't his job.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you didn't mean finesse

There is more players, i`m sure the percentage is similar to other leagues.

NFL 53 players a team
NBA 12
MLB 26

the crime rate is signficantly higher for NFL Payers though

for ever 20 NBA Players there's 1 of them that will be charged with a felony
for every 20 NFL Players, that number is 6

according to SportsCrimeReporters.Org

Well there ya go, at least somebody drops some facts.

You got a link for this?

You're telling me each NFL team has 15 felons on it?

Damn that's way higher than expected if true.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Yeah, that's why I want a link or some credibility to this site.

Because 6/20, that would equal about 15-16 players per team have a felony.

That sounds like complete bullshyt. Just think of your team, is there 16 guys with felonies on that roster??

 

[gho3st]

the NBA is probably the most goody 2 shoes league there is but Murrica stay callin it "thug league"

Because NBA = 78% black. No great white hope.
