Certainly an interesting group of names here. By my count there's at least 8 guys here who were considered controversial or a part of a scandal or negative news story.

This is going to be wildly unpopular, especially on Reddit, but I don’t think that personal/off field issues shouldn’t be taken into account—to an extent—when it comes to the hall of fame.

The hall is for what players did on the field, and there are countless players across all of the major sports that are in their respective halls’ for that exactly, all the while doing worse shit than the players being brought up.

They should be voted in based on their accomplishments on the field. If their personal issues were so bad and caused them to miss a ton of time, they simply wouldn’t be in the hall because the accolades wouldn’t be there. Again, I’m gonna get downvoted and that’s fine. Just my two cents.
