The hyperfocus on crime among athletes is limited to these two sports: football and basketball.

The reason why is that these two sports produce too many "stars" that have too much notoriety for their conduct and behaviors. Some of the athletes that participate in these professional sports got too much attention from the media and the public and are considered famous.
