Sharper's Hall of Fame nomination causes national outcry (Yahoo Sports)

The inclusion of former NFL safety and convicted rapist Darren Sharper on this year's list of Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees has created a national outcry. U.S. District Court Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced him to 18 years in prison last month. There is no character clause to be eligible for the Hall of Fame, but that has not tempered a debate that has some Twitter members calling for an NFL boycott in the unlikely event Sharper is elected.
