Human Interaction with Technology and Information

The data I would like to analyze comes from multiple sources. All professional athletes would be added to a database. The leagues they participate in will be noted along with their names. A list of all drug or behavior related league suspensions shall be cross referenced with the name list. Public arrest records will be cross referenced with the names of professional athletes as well.

            The data is interesting because Athletes are role models to many children in America; however some do things unsuitable for a role model.

            The data would come from professional sports leagues and organizations such as the NBA, NFL, MLB, or UFC among others. Data would also be collected from public arrest records from local, state, and the federal government. 

            The data collected would answer the following questions:

·         Have there been more instances of doping or arrests over time?

·         Which professional sports league has the most players committing crimes?

·         Are players in any city more likely to commit a crime?

·         Are players on a particular team more likely to commit a crime?

·         Are players graduating from certain colleges more likely to commit a crime?

·         Which crimes committed by athletes are the most common?

Would this website be appropriate for determining what qualifies a shade of yellow? I also found one off of this other site.
