This is news<\/a>: the arrest rate of NFL players is down<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is this news?\u00a0 Is this something to be proud of?\u00a0 As the article itself states, a single arrest is one too many, and the fact that this is even a story in the first place is just another reminder of just how much of a problem it is that there are all these football players with too much money and privilege acting like they\u2019re above the law and finding out the wrong way that they\u2019re not.<\/span><\/p>\n

But whatever though, it\u2019s not like it\u2019s new knowledge that the NFL is garbage these days, and they should be looking to celebrate and champion any and every little thing that might possibly be construed as a massive victory, like the fact that fewer of their players are getting arrested; or as I\u2019d like to phrase it, fewer NFL players are actually getting caught at being the shitheads that so many of them are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frankly, if they\u2019re crediting stiffer punishments as reason why arrests are down, imagine how much faster they\u2019ll drop if the punishments got even stiffer?\u00a0 In the world outside of the pampered world of professional athletes, if a guy got arrested for drunk and disorderly, or worse, sexual assault, they\u2019d get fired on the spot and their lives would likely be ruined.\u00a0 But NFL players just get slaps on the wrist and suspended for a few games in a sport that plays 16 games a year.\u00a0 I\u2019d bet money that if the NFL punished players like the real world punished citizens, the arrest rate would drop even more than it has over the last 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck or Ezekiel Elliott or Josh Norman.\u00a0 Get arrested, void of contract, full-year suspension, or just cut outright, and have to earn your way back.\u00a0 Fuck anyone who breaks the law for whatever stupid and selfish reason, and punish them all the same and indiscriminately, like ordinary people.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny because the NFL already makes it easy as possible for players to stay out of trouble.\u00a0 To help mitigate all the DUIs that players get:<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the players union announced a partnership with Lyft in which active players would be eligible to receive $250 in ride credits.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AKA the players all get $250 in free Lyft credits.\u00a0 Imagine if employer gave all employees free Lyft or Uber credits?\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of like they\u2019re accepting that their employees are drunk shitheads who like to go out and get smashed too regularly, so we\u2019ll at least to get them home without getting arrested.\u00a0 Fuck no, in the real world, people are expected to be responsible adults in charge of their own actions, and nobody gets free rideshares to basically enable bad behavior, as long as you don\u2019t have to drive yourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like I said though, the NFL is such a joke when it comes to player conduct, that I guess it\u2019s understandable why this is news.\u00a0 You have to learn to walk before you can run, and in the case of the NFL, they have crawl before they can even take baby steps towards improving their shitty image of a league full of idiots always on the cusp of being criminals who can\u2019t control their behavior.\u00a0 They should get a pizza party for all their \u201cimprovement!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
