The salaries are rising faster and faster and the players are becoming sports celebrities just the same as in other leagues. Football seems to have more gun violations but as the celebrity factor continues to grow things will only get worse. And there are plenty of those players getting paid more money now than they ever could dream of, traveling with posses, etc.
