The media has done a good job convincing the sheeple this, especially recently. But can you back that up with actual facts or statistics? Compare the arrest rates of the NFL with the general population and see what you come up with.
I'm by far a "sheeple" as u put it. I haven't liked professional sports since major league baseball went out on strike. Let them get a real job. General public which is millions of people compared to a few hundred ? Really ? LOL
