Shout out to Mycah Kendricks for getting charged with insider trading instead of the typical DUI or domestic violence
Our politicians do it with impunity why shouldn't we be able to ?
Cuz rules for thee, but not for me.
Not only with impunity, they literally get their families and friends to invest in companies and then write laws to help those specific companies succeed. It's fucking bullshit.
I'd be happy if the entire Board of FTC Commissioners would be fired and replaced with people who would do their jobs. Gov't Accountants not commissioners, or even a well written program. Then, instead of giving fines, give them a couple of years on a chain gang, and take back all the money they made. and if that didn't break them, put it on pay per view.
How about we hang them instead?
OOooh, I'd be okay with that, but I want the money back first. Let them die broke.
and for signing a new contract AFTER being convicted
So there’s hope for Josh Bellamy? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/nfl-player-charged-role-24-million-covid-relief-fraud-scheme
Graduated to white collar crime. I imagine his agent used the poor sap's money. He probably really had no idea.
I'll never understand why insider trading is illegal. They made it a crime to act in your best interests with information that you got before everyone else did.
"Oh, this company that I work for is hiring blue haired college dropouts? I should sell my stock because they're going to ruin the company"
"Sorry sir, we're going to report you to the FTC for selling you stock before we let them ruin the company and cost you your livelihood."
Haha that's like one arrest every 8 days
I've been on this planet for more than 30 years. I've been arrested exactly zero times. How many people are in the NFL?
38 here and counting. Never arrested, never been sued, never sued anyone.
Then I read the news to find out I’m trash for being a white male.
Only time I had to go to court was when I was served by a credit card company after getting my identity stolen and massive charges made on my accounts.
So, I gathered my paperwork to prove I didn’t make said charges (I wasn’t even on the same side of the country that said charges occurred), went to court and it was pretty quickly dismissed and removed from my credit report. Didn’t lose my cool, everyone I dealt with was actually really legit and friendly.
How hard is it for people to not commit crimes (and even if they did, how hard is it for them to be civil)? Hell, when I get pulled over, I always act civil. I always mention the location of my (legal) concealed carry firearm so there are no surprises and from there we can figure out the best method of action going forward. I treat the officer with respect and at the end of the interaction, I always make sure to tell them to have a good day/night and to stay safe. It’s extremely simple, and outside of one bitchy officer who kept challenging how I looked on my ID compared to real life (because people don’t change their appearance over a decade later, apparently), I’ve never had a bad interaction.
Apparently my white-as-Hank Hill ass is a racist devil for not breaking the law.
People sue for literally anything and everything In this day and age, doesn't mean much anymore unfortunately.
Does raise the eyebrows
Any other company HR would be revamping hiring procedures.
53 per team. That's about 1700 per year on the rosters.
The Left is just a complete joke because they are only morally consistent when it is convenient to their narrative.
Black Lives Matter!
But not the lives all these ass-hats have endangered with DUIs and domestic violence!
1600 per Year, with about 1/4 - 1/3 turnover per year. Probably 400-500 new players per year
Can anybody that watches football See if the players that were release from teams after arrest were any good
Gee, I wonder why these players are so anti-cop...it’s almost as if these thugs are trying to get revenge and make future crimes easier for themselves
Funny thing is NFL let that Micheal Vick Guy play again and most people will say abusing dogs is worse than kneeing for the flag or equal
If you are good they will let you play .
If you can make somebody money you will be hired no matter what you did. If the crime is bad you better be able to make them a lot of money
Exactly. He went to jail for animal abuse. Most people get a fine.
What he did was bad.
National Felon League needs to die.
I am still LIVID about Michael Vick, and when the Steelers picked him up was the INSTANT I stopped watching. I was a diehard fan until that point, but the organization showed their true colors that day--and they weren't black and gold anymore.
Wasn't Michael Vick before all the insanity with Ben?
Edit: And no, I wanted Ben traded and off the team as soon as the allegations hit. The entire organization is disappointing.
Dude, I'm on your side. This isn't Reddit. Don't get so aggressive. Do you want my entire history of watching the NFL, or do you want to agree that teams are making shitty decisions regarding their rosters, and that's good enough reason for people to stop watching and potentially forget about the order of events that happened ten years ago.
Didn’t Adrian Peterson beat his child?
There cops arrested me after I beat my wife
Fuck the police
there are a few that were. Guice, for example. Also Greg Hardy was arguably the best in the league at his position and in his prime, but DV was too hot a topic with the league at the time. Most of them were either “bubble players” or past their prime and gave the teams an excuse and avoided bad PR, though.
They are the criminals who want us to defund the police so they can run wild.
Overpaid sheep?
Mostly Black sheep
Don’t forget - the master has been taking 1/3 of their wool. Shear thievery.
I see what ewe did there
You guys are baaaad.
Negro Fleecing, Legitimized.
Apparently.
They don't have to wear the names of other thugs on their helmets. They need to only use their own.
Word.
Funny how ESPN will go crazy Purple hair SJW all over the NFL - but won't cover all these arrests - with ANY detail at all...
Hmmmmmmmm
That's not even counting the crimes swept under the rug for the "dey wuz gud bois" crowd with athletic talent while they are still in middle and high school. Gotta keep those future prospects out of jail and they aren't smart or self disciplined enough to do it even with help.
Approximately 1,600 players active on rosters in the league. Approximately 20 arrests per year over the last 50 years. That's a rate of 1.25%... Which is fucking awful for a bunch of entitled multi millionaires who are incapable of committing a crime of necessity. The arrest rate for our general population is about 3%, but many of those people are poor and trying to get their next meal, not just their next hit. Pro athletes don't have that excuse. I'd love to see the data sorted so we could get violent crime or domestic abuse rates for each major sports league. I bet they're terrible. Get off your damn knees and start holding yourselves to the same standards as regular Americans. World's smallest violin playing just for the kneeling clown world bozos. HONK HONK. 🤡
Well look at the way football players are groomed.
Most went through highschool / college on a free ride because their only skill in life is playing football.
Schools will literally bend over backwards to accommodate football teams because they make money off the games. College football alone generates so much income for these schools, that they will ignore the student's academic and behavioral failures, just so they can play in the next game.
The NFL is no different. All they care about is finding the next top player, signing him to a team, then make good money off his performance. They can care less about his background, as long as they met a certain criteria for recruitment.
So you have the NFL signing these thugs and giving them millions. In return, these thugs are now millionaires and enjoy the life thinking they have impunity from the law because they've literally been raised to believe that. Sad thing is, the NFL will spend a ton of money to make sure these people are playing in the next game.
It's all fucked, and it's all because of school dependency on football.
If anything, the extravagant money and fame they have might make it even more likely to get in trouble. They think they are above the law or they can just buy their way out of trouble.
Just for shits and giggles, what are the statistics of white vs black arrests? I'm fairly sure I know the answer but I'd just like to know.
Well, I think it's fair to say that most of the players are a majority of one creed, is enough to say that I can't also confirm it, but I'll tip toe around it and say yes, you are correct.
The NFL is big on stats so lets see that one.
I've come to the conclusion that the professional athletes who are so concerned about social justice, are really just felons who hate they have to live in fear of law enforcement catching them.
Look at all the ridiculous sexism, racism etc training going on in corporate America and ask yourself, why aren't professional athletes going through this sort of training. They aren't because everyone knows they're thugs who just happen to be good at sports ball.
They aren’t morally shaming anyone. They are outright praising their fellow felon rapists.
which players on the list were convicted of rape? i didn’t see any, but i mostly skimmed it
Jarriel King was the only one I saw charged with rape.
Oh I didn’t reference the list I’m talking about all the sexual misconduct in general. I wouldn’t be surprised if not one were convicted or even tried.
Edit: Here’s one though. Recent too. https://archive.is/F8PUL
Edit: more here. A few rape scandals. Wooo. https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/tag/nfl-abuse-scandals
Key info here....
if you make it to year 2 of your NFL Career - you are minimally a millionaire!
Most of the arrests - are of NFL millionaires.
National Felons Leagues.... I said it for years....
Huh, I wonder why they hate cops so much?
Ooooh! Now do Washington DC. Especially the sex crime payoffs.
Congress has a tax-payer funded slush fund that it uses to payoff/silence victims of sexual crimes committed by house and senate members. Mark Levin talks about it from time to time, but I've been trying to dig up my own sources for a few days now. It really exists.
Low-IQ, low-information neanderthal thugs.
Don't insult neanderthal like that
K3K! 🐸👍
What gets me are the ones that say "robbery". Motherfuckers are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions to play a goddamn game. What the absolute fuck are they doing robbing houses and stealing shit?
Joggers gotta jog!
odd. most of them are from a certain race...weird
This list is racist.
noticing things is racist
ARRESTED FOR: something serious
OUTCOME: charges dropped/resolution undetermined/diversion program & paid fine
Some of these are hilarious.
Accused of stealing $15 phone charger and refusing to give it back to an Uber driver in Alabama.
Like, wtf bro? You make millions and need to steal phone chargers from Uber drivers?
The only player who got significant news time was Vick for dog fights.
What a bunch of losers.
Okay, they ain't all bad:
"Odell Beckham WR Warrant Battery Accused of slapping the buttocks of a police officer in the LSU locker room in New Orleans after LSU championship victory."
The only thing USA today is good for is fake news about AR chainsaw attachments.
Well they do have this. Makes me wonder why. Not something I would expect USA Today to report on.
The worst part is they use their wealth, privilege and celebrity to get minimum or no sentences, and continue life as the wealthy and privileged, for things that would ruin the average persons life, including rape and murder, things that ruin other peoples lives. They are overpaid prima donnas who contribute nothing of any practical value to society, yet we worship them as heros. Respecting a persons athletic abilities is one thing, professional sports is another.
You wouldn’t be able to get any well paying job if you had any of these things on your record, but these guys get to keep making millions.
How many do you think got off or never had any investigations started because they were a celebrity or were considered "needed" for their local team? If they didn't have a special status there would be a lot more arrests than that.

National Felon League
I so can't wait for the NFL to croak, and die.
Put these names on their helmets.
They like putting rapists names on them.
Good meme opportunity.
"role models"
I'd just like to see one player say "don't resist arrest" instead of "ALL COPS AND WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST!"
Thiugs And Punks who are millionaires that are oppressed.
Mike Florio is a sellout.
His "Police Blotter" feature on his ProFootballTalk.com was great, until he sold the site (and his soul) to NBC Sports.
How many arrests were there BEFORE 2000?
Wtf I love USA Today now?
They don't call it the National Felon League for nothing.

A bunch of jocks with brain damage.
Sort by name to so how many have MULTIPLE "events".
And what the heck does "Resolution undetermined" mean? Lazy reporter of case memory holed?
That was fun...now sort by team.
What in the heck is going on in Cincinnati?
Is this the part where we demand the opposition ‘say their names’?? Damn list is too long!
Since the nfl is putting the name of rapists and felons on their helmets, can I get a T-shirt with this list of names?
Yknow. For social justice...🙄
LINK DOESN'T WORK
Worked for me.
Same for me. It just goes through to a generic landing page.
