The NFL: White collar crime is ok?

It's a well known fact that 27 NFL players have been arrested in 2013 for various crimes including Aaron Hernandez' arrest for murder.   Generally the reaction of the league and it's franchises has been swift.  Cut ties with players, period.

When Jimmy Haslam is indicted for fraud, does anyone think the league will react with similar pragmatism?   Doubtful.  The old boys club stays together and Haslam is a paid in full member of the old boys club.   The fact that the accusations against Haslam translate into his taking money from the pockets of millions of truckers means little or nothing to the NFL.
