the NFL takes the cake though, by far, more than any other major sport.
overly serious trouble too, way beyond drunk driving, possession, substance abuse, etc. etc.
The NFL even has a rookie camp symposium in hopes of helping the young players to
stay out of trouble.Not helping the situation since 1965!

SOCIETAL COMPARISON
The NFL is better behaved than American society.

U.S. population: one arrest per 21 people per year (around 4,800 arrests per 100,000 inhabitants) and one arrest per 25 people age 18 and over, according to the FBI.Not helping the situation since 1965!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair, who led the famous Tennessee Titans' drive that came a yard short of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl, was found dead Saturday with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head. Police said a pistol was discovered near the body of a woman also shot dead in a downtown condominium.
"At this juncture, we do not believe she is involved," he said. "Nothing has been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer would be no."
Wait a frigging minute ~ multiple gunshot wounds, they don't believe she was involved. A double homicide, however they're not looking for a suspect?
What gives?Enjoying a rum and coke, just didn't have any coke...
