Players
convicted for domestic violence, sexual assault or weapons offenses
will not be allowed to attend the NFL Scouting Combine and Draft,
according to an internal memo obtained byUSA Today.
Will it reduce the amount of thugs in the NFL? Maybe, but probably not. As we have seen so many times before, the best college players are protected and instances are swept under the rug or settled out of court. I think this new policy would give even more motivation to do that.
Will it improve the behavior of young athletes who aspire to make it to the NFL? I seriously doubt it. If someone lacks the impulse control to keep from attacking or sexually assaulting someone, I seriously doubt that person has even greater impulse control to consider consequences years down the road.
