Trump shouldn’t weigh in on anything that has to do with obligations, morals or standards. His multiple affairs and shady business dealing have disqualified him.

Do you understand what you posted?
That claim states that meme is false. Therefore, the numbers you are saying are FALSE.
Quote:
That meme is incorrect with just about every assertion it makes. There are 32 teams, but rosters are only limited to 53 players for part of the year, and even then, each team has an additional practice squad and players on injured reserve.
The arrests are overwhelmingly based on suspicion or charges of misdemeanor crimes, not felonies. DUI is far and away the leading charge.
The database goes back to 2000, and many or most of the players in the database are no longer in the league. They were in the NFL when they were arrested, but many are no longer in the league.
As we’ve reported, based on our data, the NFL has a lower arrest rate than the general population.
As Schrotenboer noted, the idea that NFL players have a higher propensity to commit crime than the rest of the population has been debunked with research. A 2015 University of Texas, Dallas study found that NFL players actually have a lower arrest rate than population at large. According to a press release published by the university about the study’s findings:
For every year between 2000 and 2013, the total arrest rate for the general population was significantly higher than the total arrest rate for NFL players. For example, the total arrest rate for the general population was 4,889 arrests per 100,000 people in 2013; the total arrest rate for NFL players was 3,740. For most years, the total arrest rate for the general population was one and a half to two times as high as the total rate for NFL players.
“The data show that the perception that NFL players are overly criminal compared to the U.S. population is false,” [researcher and criminology professor Alex] Piquero said. “In fact, when you look at the forest and not the trees, the trends over the 14-year period show that the general population has higher arrest rates than NFL players do.”

That's ultimately what you're standing for. If the NFL does it, all businesses should be required to set aside time for the anthem imo.
