and that has nothing to do with either drug use or assault and battery tendencies after the lights go out....


WTF are you talking about? You accused MLB players of cheating so yeah it does and when you have 5 times the athletes you are going to have 5 times the crime.

Fine. Make me do the dirty work.

NFL

quote:

According to Benedict and Yaeger, 21 percent of NFL players -- more than one in five -- have been charged with at least one serious crime, including two murder arrests, seven rape charges, 45 counts of domestic violence and 42 charges of assault and battery.



MLB

quote:

a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds seven in 10 fans believe at least a quarter of the game's players use steroids to improve their performance. That's up twenty percentage points from July 2002 and includes a third who say at least half of major leaguers use such drugs.

which completely negates the "more players" argument. 20% is 20%. and notice that is serious crime not running red lights and shite.

That you like the NBA and no matter what anyone says your mind will never change. I guess it's a good thing to be blissfully ignorant when it comes to being a fan.
