Why are so few NBA players adopted, but many NFL players are?

Question

this is totally a true fact. why?

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

i really dont know. I guess its just a really wierd Coincident.

Answer 3

Just a coincidence nothing more than that.

Answer 4

I don't know.

There was an AP who used to post here named CowboyFan, I bet she could tell you...

Answer 5

Maybe their parents don't like football.

Answer 6

Where do you find this stuff?

Answer 7

they know how to take the ball and run with it. i dont know, the ratio to the players are higher, maybe more just happened to like and played football.  still with both sports you have to have your grades up there to get in the college, so both takes a lot of hard work on both the adopt parents and the adopt kids. so give them all a lot of credit.

Answer 8

and this question is important why?

Answer 9

there are only 12 players on an nba team and 55 players on an nfl team so naturally the odds are higher

Answer 10

I think people would be amazed at how many people are adopted.  They say adopted people raised in a stable and loving home are most likely to be more successful then children raised by their biological familes.  Maybe it is this drive that made them successful thus NFL players, hard work and determination.

Answer 11

nfl players take out their aggression of being deserted by their parents by pummeling around other guys...

not much pummeling in the nba or its a foul

Answer 12

Hi Surfnerd,

I don't know the relevance of this to your question at hand, since i know very little about football.  You might also want to figure out the income of the average families in both sports.

I remember reading an article years ago that said asked why most poor families choose basketball as a sport.  It was a pretty basic answer all you needed was a ball.  Football, hockey, golf etc, you need cleats, ice skates, shoulder pads, hockey stick, clubs, mouth-guard, etc.   Something I never thought about before.  So i think looking up economic backgrounds of the players families might be more telling than who was adopted or not.
