In fairness, many professional athletes are rapists, quite disproportionate to the general male population. Some men do commit rape, but far more never will, and it's just as dishonest to claim "all men are rapists" as to claim "all women are secretly conspiring to kill all men." Feminists use this fact that many sports stars are rapists to paint all men with this broad brush, and it works to discredit their own position as a result.
I should hope you of all people don't fall into such an intellectually bankrupt position as to believe rape isn't real and that no man is a rapist because of some made-up post-modernist rationalization like "rape is power plus sex and men don't have power." You will be taken more seriously if you do not make of yourself a caricature of the very people you oppose.
That's kinda what makes the nfl funny as they try to stir up drama with this shit but you can tell a lot of it is faked. While they did have guys like greg hardy/ray rice, truly scum of the earth wife-assaulters with the former going onto an mma career (because I guess domestic assault prepares you for fighting men?), they don't have that now so they had to glorify the deshaun watson stuff.
Not going to go into all of the details as for the most part the criminal stuff was quite boring. Guy was accused by 5 massage therapists of inappropriate actions at the start, blossomed into 30 once word of mouth got going. When he wanted to pursue the trial 28 of them dropped their cases and the remaining 2 settled outside of court. His actual NFL stuff was interesting though, as at the time he was considered a really good player on a bad team approaching a year in his contract where teams will either re-sign for hundreds of millions of dollars or trade for massive amounts of capitol. They ended up choosing the latter, sent him to the browns, and despite the massive cloud lingering over him got a ton of stuff in return (with him ending up signing an extremely lucrative contract despite never winning a playoff game).
I wouldn't necessarily say "rape" is the big thing associated with athletes and more just disrepect of women as a whole. In the NFL we've seen far more domestic abusers. In the NBA we see a ton of welfare/alimony stuff where they'll have 10 kids and abandon them all. Each sport has their own niche that they seem to be really good at.
I bet if you ask the men players if this is fair they will say it is. Soccer teams are so disappointing
Well, they either say it is or lose the other half of their pay and find out their long history of being rapists. Yes, all of them.

Ray Rice was not scum of the earth. We have the video evidence.
