  • Bias (95%)
    The author mentions the possible involvement of alcohol in two separate incidents involving members of the Vikings team. While it is important information to report, the repeated mentioning of alcohol in relation to these incidents could be perceived as an attempt to depict the team or its members in a negative light, potentially demonstrating a bias against them.
    • The author mentions Addison's previous arrest for driving 140 miles per hour and states that he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in this latest incident.
      • The news of Addison’s latest arrest comes a week after the death of Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson in Maryland. A fourth-round draft pick out of Oregon in April, Jackson and two high school teammates were killed the morning of July 6 when their Dodge Charger was struck by an Infiniti Q50 trying to pass their Charger at a high speed. Investigators said at the time that alcohol might have contributed to the crash.
