sports stars was easy compared to actors and musicians huh?
wonder if thats because more sports people commit violent crimes than actors & musicians?
we aren't comparing normal people to celebrities here, we are comparing sports people to other celebrities so you can't use the argument that one gets more publicity than the other.
you can bet your last dollar that if brad pitt tripped, punched, raped or killed someone you'd know about it!

Sports stars was easy because I follow sports stories way more than I do actors and musicians. I don't read the newspaper often, except for a few times at work, and when I do it's either business or sports. I also don't watch much TV that has commercials or news.
However, I do see your arguement in that sports stars commit more crimes than actors and musicians, but then again, we also pay more to watch sports than we do actors or listen to musicians. Look at the salaries of sports players compared to that of actors and musicians.
Another point that I will make is that sports stars also take more "drugs" because it enhances their ability to perform. Actors and musicians do not partake because it does not enhance their abilities to excel. Athletes take them to try to be better than the next person. Many times these "drugs" change the chemical inbalance therefore causing them to get angry often or even get angrier when they do get angry. I am not blaming it just on the "drugs", I feel athletes have an inferiority complex which does not help in any situation. They need to feel bigger than everyone else, try to show that they are the boss, I.E. beating their wife or shoving a gun in their sons' mouth.
