Sorry, but Congress outnumbers the criminals in the NFL.
Add in State Reps, and holy cow......we elect criminals.
Comparative Summary
| Institution | Approx. Number of Convicted Criminals |
|---|
| U.S. Congress | ~68 members convicted (4 Senators, 64 House), plus some more in recent years |
| NFL | Under ~50 players convicted of felonies overall |
- Congress has decades of convictions across many individuals serving in office.
- NFL has had far fewer felony convictions relative to its total player base (~1,700 players), and many cases involved suspensions or dismissals but not convictions.
Bottom Line
U.S. Congress has more convicted criminals (in terms of number of individuals convicted while in office) than the NFL does (in terms of confirmed felony convictions among players).
