reddogblitz Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 so I'm not really understanding what 1987 has to do with anything… Actually, it would make more sense to compare crime to the 1982 season where there was no football for about 8 weeks.

billsfreak Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 So in your little world, people are either thugs on full-time crime sprees, or nice suburban folk. Nothing in between. Must be one or the other. Black or White. No Grey... Ok. I didn't say that, read what you want. All I am saying is that not having football on sundays will have absolutely nothing to do with the crime rate. Wow? What I am saying is the career criminal, which most who commit serious crimes are, aren't typically die hard football fans who put down there weapons to update their fantasy football roster. You must be as ignorant as Ray Lewis is if your post is any indication of your intelligence level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 They are all a bunch of thugs shirley, you jest..... as your link is just one example, the norm is that most of the NFL athletes (i'll say 80% based on the book Pro's and Con's)are fine upstanding citizens. http://www.isds.duke.edu/~dalene/chance/chanceweb/123.nflviol.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Peter King's take: I don't understand Ray Lewis' logic. I respect Ray Lewis, and I also do not travel in his circles. I don't know who has told Lewis the crime rate by the general populace in America is going to go up if there's no pro football this fall, but someone has, and he's buying it. Lewis told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN: "If we don't have a season, watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up,'' he said. When SalPal asked why, Lewis said: "There's nothing else to do.'' It's a nice headline, but I'm not buying it. I suppose it could happen, but unless we get burglars and thieves saying they did it because the NFL wasn't on TV on fall Sundays this year, I'm not buying what Lewis is selling.

Malazan Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) of course it will increase, NFL players won't have anything else to do and since they aren't anything special without the NFL, they are just one of the...general populace.

How does he know someone told him this. He might have just made it up or come to conclusion on his own. He knows a little bit about crime. Perhaps even more than Peter King does.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 "There's too many people that live through us, people live through us," he said.

bills44 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 "There's too many people that live through us, people live through us," he said. "Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I'm not talking about the people you see all the time." Lewis lives or spends a good deal of time in bad neighborhoods? Huh...I figured that he had a beautiful, large house in an upscale suburb. If Lewis' assertion is true, then for the public good, the government should step in and do its best to ensure that the NFL season will take place.
