"The NFL asks not just that players avoid guns in general, but that they avoid having them even at home . . ."
"The NBA takes a similarly hard line. Commissioner David Stern, the short, white, New York native who joined the league's legal department in the 70’s and has been commissioner since 1984, told media in a pre-season conference call, "It's a pretty, I think, widely accepted statistic that if you carry a gun, your chances of being shot by one increase dramatically . . ."
Widely quoted statistic, yes. Widely accepted statistic, only by those who don't do their research. Valid? Hardly.
