Can you imagine the outrage if 29 NBA players were arrested in 6 months? All we would hear is how thuggish the NBA is

In the NFL's defense, there are 29 NBA teams with 12 roster spots which is 348 spots.

NFL is 32 teams with 53 players which is 1696 players.

So to equate to the NFL, the NBA would have to have 6 players arrested.

1.7% of the NFL players. For the US about 2.9% of the population is under some type of correctional supervision. So the NFL underachieved statistically for the last 6 months.**

The NFL does seem to have a disproportionate amount of murderers though. Maybe the NBA players are too stoned to kill people, while the HGH-ed NFLers are out capping asses.

Yeah. It's gonna be hard for the NBA to top 2 players charged in separate murders in 1 day. Actually, 1 is only attempted murder right now, but I'm not sure that really makes all that much of a difference (I guess it does to the guy who's in critical condition though).

A Cleveland Brown punched a guy outside a strip club and has been charged with attempted murder. I don't see how that will stick though.

I think Ray Caruth still takes the cake as the weirdest/worst one.

Probably a save bet that most of that 2.9% isn't pulling down a six or seven figure income. **
