The Force is With Me
In the last decade, the headlines and coverage generated from stories about NFL player arrests can make it sound like the NFL is full of criminals.
But is it? According to a new study, the numbers don't support that narrative.
Research done by the University of Texas at Dallas shows that the arrest rate for all men of the same general age group was nearly twice as high than as that of NFL players from 2000 to 2013.
"There's a perception that the NFL has this huge crime problem and that it's longstanding," said Dr. Alex Piquero, a professor of criminology at UT Dallas who was one of the authors of the study. "That's what everybody believes. The data show that it's not true."
