What about MLB? Ok MLB has its juicers, but is it me or considering these guys are playing the longest season in sports, the amount of time they get in trouble for off field stuff is negligible. Why?
Baseball players, like hockey players, tend to come from middle class Americans and a handful of Latin America countries for baseball and a few European countries/Canada for hockey. None of which have a high rate of domestic violence issues, AFAIK. Football and basketball tend to get more than their fair share of inner city kids and hicks.
It's pretty hard to argue with that, even if it isn't so pretty of a truth.
