Or the Pacman Jones rule would be a complete step in the right direction for the NFL or for any major sports league. Really if you get arrested 3 times you're pretty much either A) A Scumbag or B) A Moron. And honestly if you are getting paid millions upon millions of dollars I feel as if once you get 2 strikes you should be able to hold the fort for the remainder of your professional career. I mean I've done some stupid things in the past and have yet to get arrested. I'm sure plenty of other people have been absolute morons and not been arrested. One thing I think is getting blown out of proportion is how many people this will effect / how many people will get kicked out as a result of this policy. Personally I'd be surprised if we ever saw more than 1 person a year in any given league, and if we ever saw a high profile player get booted. Sure there's your Chris Henry's or Pacman Jones' of the world that are sure to get the boot but there are way more individuals with zero arrests on their resume than multiple.
I think the talk of implementing the rule is pretty much the NFLPA trying to put themselves in a positive light for the first time in months. In other words this policy if ratified won't really do much.
