NFL Arrests Database

Just found this site while reading an article about Woods losing his swing coach. It isn't comprehensive, but it is pretty accurate, imho. Might make for some interesting analysis. 19 NFL players have been arrested so far this year.

"These are arrests and citations involving NFL players since 2000 that
were more serious than speeding tickets. The San Diego Union-Tribune
reviewed hundreds of news reports and public records in compiling it.
The list cannot be considered comprehensive in part because some
incidents may not have been reported and some public records proved to
be elusive. Increased media coverage of incidents also probably accounts
for more incidents listed in recent years."

Wow, now that's a fun database to look through! After a cursory glance, needless to say the list is dominated by darker-hued individuals. At an even higher percentage than their "representation" in the league as a whole. Who would have guessed?

I've seen that data base before, and believe it significantly understates the number of arrested players.

"Increased media coverage of incidents also probably accounts for more incidents listed in recent years."

See, its the publicity that causes the incidents. This means that if you don't mention something, it didn't happen. Here is the explanation for why the MSM ignores black on white crime.
