I am thinking that Darren Sharper, and other NFL players were rapists before they retired. What likely ended when Sharper and other black players played their last games for the NFL was white male protection.

If you don't believe Sharper was likely a rapist during his football career, the other choice is to surmise that something broke in his head upon retirement. Or, maybe the stress of not bringing in millions of dollars per year broke him.
But I think it's more likely that Darren Sharper was the same man he always was, --during his NFL career and after his NFL career was over -- and the only thing that really changed was that he was no longer pulling down millions of dollars for his NFL owner.

Sharper's rampage of druggings and rapes could have been prevented, according to a two-month investigation by ProPublica and The New Orleans Advocate based on police records in five states, hundreds of pages of court documents and dozens of interviews across the country.
Nine women reported being raped or drugged by Sharper to four different agencies before his January 2014 capture. But police and prosecutors along the way failed to investigate fully the women's allegations. They made no arrests. Some victims and eyewitnesses felt their claims were downplayed. Corroborating evidence, including DNA matches and video surveillance, was minimized or put on hold.
Perhaps most critically, police did not inquire into Sharper's history. Had they done so, they would have detected a chilling predatory pattern that strongly bolstered the women's accounts.
Sharper typically chose victims who were white women in their early 20s, records show. He picked them up in pairs at nightclubs, and took them home to his hotel or residence. Sharper had drinks with them, sometimes lacing drinks he gave the women with drugs that rendered them unconscious.
