However, think about it, even at 4.71%, that's abysmally high for a sport where players are idolized. I could say the same thing about the MBl and NBA. These players should be held to a higher standard. Many times they commit crimes and instead of having to pay their just due; the courts are somehow bought off so the player can get back on the field.
It's the double standard but then again those connected in politics or people who have lived in one area (small town) can many times get the punishment or even the crime itself expunged. This is the kind of thing that really chaps my hide. In a just America everyone is equal under the eyes of the law but it just isn't so.
I don't usually take the time to provide proof. This isn't a court of law and those who ask for proof are just lazy. They should do the research themselves but I was curious so I did it - this time.
