And I am not searching for said percentages, but your being obtuse, and for what reason I'm not sure. Ok, I'm racist.

One, I never said you were racist so that's quite the leap. I purposely said that it tinges the position "at the extreme end".
I also understand that we're discussing relativism, and I don't believe that there are relatively more "crackhead, ######bag, druggies" in the NFL or NBA than there are in the NHL. There are certainly plenty of NFL and NBA players who have had brushes with the law, but the same can be said for the NHL. There are also well over twice as many players in the NFL.
Hockey fans love to pretend that hockey players are much more virtuous than the athletes in other sports, when there's really no basis for it.
