Record Labels should take a hint from what the NFL is going to do Well finally soemone is standing up and trying to clean up the "criminal" element in sports, the industry needs to be next. 2 NFl players who have been arrested close to 10times in the last 18 months will be getting suspended without pay and possibly removed from the league depending on the outcomes or trials. Im tired of hearing players say "oh im always in the wrong place at the wrong time", i applaud the NFL for at least doing something like this, Baseball already is doing it, Basketball needs to, and the music industry really needs this. Imagine someone gets arrested on a label, found guilty, they should be booted off the label and no other label should be able to sign or release product from them, if they want to put something out go independant, but penalize stores selling it. If really wanna clean it up, then stop talking and do it.

That would only work if we suspended the legality of the United States Constitution. | |

First of all if you are at a job and convicted of a crime you get Fired, plain and simple, there are no second chances. Some of these players in the NFL are on their 7th chance, and all the charges are gun-assault related. Im tired of hearing lets clean up the game, lets clean it up, then when someone takes a step someone says, oh give em another shot, well 10 chances later he still is carrying a gun.

The problem is that the criminal nature of the artist ENHANCES his/her marketability, unlike the NFL. Until the sales of artists stop going up with each conviction, that will not change. If that were the situation with the NFL, Pac-Man Jones, Tank Johnson, Chris Henry, Rae Carruth and O.J. Simpson would be considered ambassadors of the game. It's all about what the market will bear. Or, in this case, stand. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Oh of course but even the Music Industry complains and then does nothing, it really should take the lead in this situation and following along with Baseball,Football etc.. since those things are really just forms of entertainment too.

If a record company sells more records when the artist is or is perceived as a criminal, it has no incentive to deter criminal conduct. Of course, sometimes, tragically, the problem comes to a head and the issue is moot.  Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
