Good grief.  It seems often that NFL players get arrested for DUI's.  Now they are being arrested for murder.  (Donte Stallworth, etc.)  What is up with this? 

Well, in all fairness Bierria has been out of the league for almost 5 years, so it's not like he was an active player. Tagging him as a 'former NFL player', while accurate, is cheap sensationalism on the part of the media IMO. (Really, if he had been 5 years removed from working for UPS or Wal-Mart would that lead the headline? I don't think so).

And an unfortunate DUI manslaughter situation is not equatable to a first-degree murder charge in my opinion. Hundreds (if not thousands) of people get arrested for DUI everyday in this country. I don't think NFL players get arrested at a higher rate than the average populous as much as it is that they are put under a microscope. Not defending DUI at all, just pointing out it's not like they're doing something 'unique' in that regard.
