We all know the NBA and NFL get a bad rap when it comes to their players getting arrested all the time. I mean heck, Braylon Edwards, Wide Receiver for the Jets, JUST got arrested for a DUI this week! But which organization is in the headlines more? You might be surprised by what you read.
I'm going to read some statistics and you choose whether you think I'm talking about the NFL or the NBA.
29 have been accused of spousal abuse,7 have been arrested for fraud,
19 have been accused of writing bad checks,
117 have bankrupted at least two businesses,
3 have been arrested for assault,
71 have credit reports so bad they can't qualify for a credit card,
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
8 have been arrested for shoplifting,
21 are current defendants in lawsuits.
So, which do you think it is? NFL? NBA? well.............
It's neither. It's the United States Congress.
