Off the field criminal behavior has become a problem I believe requires new study. There is evidence that professional athletes are not punished by the league, teams, or the criminal justice system as harshly or consistently as their general public counterparts. Simularly, conviction rates of athletes are astonishingly low compared to arrest statistics.

This type behavior [IMO] continues to compromise the integrity of the league. The NFL personal conduct policy should/will be revisited and analyzed to correct it's potential faults and made a strongly enforced policy negotiated in the next CBA.
