No one keeps annual statistics on arrests of professional athletes, so there's no way to determine whether there has been an increase for NFL players. And some of the criminal charges have already been dropped while guilt in other cases has yet to be determined. Nonetheless, some league officials are concerned that the repeated reports of player arrests could alienate fans and drive away sponsors of what has become by far the nation's most popular and prosperous sports attraction. [Emphasis added] A few fans may go, but nothing, NOTHING, will keep the CEOs from their luxury boxes.
