Pats are pretty low with 21, but then few teams have a player charged with and convicted for murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 On 3/18/2019 at 10:52 AM, stevegrab said: One of just a few articles I found (searched for "PROFESSIONAL athlete crime rates") that includes this similar stat. "• According to the FBI, the NFL arrest rate is 1 in 45. The national average for non-players is 1 in 23." I've read similar stories, and was surprised at first. Then I consider the many hundreds of players we hear nothing about. But they are celebrities so they're big news. Another story mentioned a study that confirmed the above fact, but also showed that during some years NFL players had a higher rate of violent crime than the average person, a statistically significant increase. Numbers were not found easily and didn't have time to read that one fully. What about the national average for men earning $500,000 (whatever the NFL minimun is) or more annually?

It's not going to be comparable in the least. People making 500k from a non athletic related job have a totally different life than athletes, particularly those in a violent sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 There are bad people in all walks of life. Why do we single out athletes? Do you care if the guy behind the counter at McDonald's is a woman beating crackhead? No, you just want your burger. So why do we care that some athletes are bad people? It has zero effect on our lives whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert but I believe that since they are role models (even heroes) to some it is a let down when we see them behave badly. Particularly stuff like wife beatings, shootings, etc. manure that doesn't play well with the kids. Should we? Probably not. Also with the high pay I think people expect more. For better or worse they are ambassadors for their fan bases. The hero worship gets a little out of hand, no argument there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 30-40 year old men still need role models they need to grow up. And if you raise your kids to believe athletes are role models, shame on you. It's bad parenting.

Def. Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If the below occurred, have to think things are only going to get worse. Whole adage of smoke and fire and all... Per Rotoworld: Quote The Kansas City Star reports Tyreek Hill's three-year-old son was "recently removed from the custody of Hill and the boy’s mother." Per the Star, it "isn’t clear when the boy was removed, or who he is staying with now." The Star reports Hill and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, have been "working through a family court process called a 'child in need of care' case." Two separate investigations into child abuse at Hill's home were opened across nine days in March. The second incident involved the alleged breaking of Hill's son's arm. Hill reported for the start of Chiefs voluntary workouts this week, but this is looking like a situation that will involve a lengthy suspension, outright release or both.

DMD Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Just imagine if he gets a year-long suspension and gets released by KC. What was a tremendous offense to start 2018 could be much less formidable in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Have to be careful here. Until there are formal charges it's just smoke. This could be more of a domestic dispute between he and the baby Mama for all we know. Could be about $$$$ and not the child's welfare. We'll see what happens.

Because we enjoy tearing down our idols and the 1%. Why does the 1 accident make the news, not the million who drove without crashing, fear, tragedy, rumors, are more exciting to the masses then hope and goodwill. Why our our lives enriched by the downfall of others? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the system has determined that the child is in enough danger to remove custody from Hill, then they flat out have reason to believe the safety of the child cannot be guaranteed. They have nothing to do with money or a dispute between parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he said and she said, they have no other option but to remove the child. It happens all the time, even without significant evidence. Especially in a domestic dispute. I've seen numerous DYFS cases where this happens. You may ultimately be right but it's not fair to label him without knowing the back story. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
