Warren Sapp Arrest Punctuates Season to Forget for Roger Goodell and NFL
USA TODAY Sports-Robert Mayer
It appears the Seattle Seahawks and their fans were not the only ones that had a miserable Super Bowl weekend. In a report early this afternoon from TMZ, NFL Network analyst and 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Warren Sapp was arrested in Phoenix around 7 A.M. this morning for soliciting a prostitute.
The incident occurred at a downtown Phoenix hotel, where Sapp was staying while he covered the New England Patriots’ 28-24 Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks. As TMZ reported, a rep for the hotel where the arrest took place said in a statement, “We are cooperating with police as they look into the situation since it is an active investigation. We have no further comment.”
The 2014 season was riddled with negative off the field headlines for the NFL and while Sapp no longer plays, he is an analyst on the league’s own network. Roger Goodell and the NFL as a whole would have loved to put this past season behind them, starting immediately following the conclusion of last night’s thrilling final game.
Sapp is one of football’s more popular analysts and a true fan favorite ever since his playing days with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders. His arrest for soliciting a prostitute is the exclamation mark at the end of a season the NFL would love to soon forget.
This is not Sapp’s first arrest. The Super Bowl XXXVIII champion and 1999 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year was most recently arrested in 2014 for alleged domestic battery.
