The NFL is the worst place for role models, scumbags rule there... Ray Lewis was involved in a murder in Atlanta during the Superbowl several years back and he is a god in the NFL. Michael Vick did not only kill dogs... he brutally electrocuted them, slammed their heads and the ground and tortured them... he is sub human but a NFL MVP candidate! Ben Rothlisberger may be a serial date rapist. Ram's Leonard Little killed a woman pedestrian in a drunken driving murder, got probation and then had another DUI a couple years later... the list goes on and on and the one thing the NFL does not care about is ethics IMO...
Doubt the NBA is any better.
