It looks like another wave of gambling suspensions is incoming

Players are apparently warned very frequently not to gamble, so of course they had notice. The NFL also has to know their constant gambling promos are going to affect people. I'm also willing to believe there are players who gamble using their friends/family as proxies.

Ultimately the NFL had a big hand in creating this problem, but the players (who are absolutely responsible) are the ones who bear the brunt of the blowback.

It's a really weird dynamic. The NFL's mentality is just do as I say, but not as I encourage 300 million people to do.

I know literally next to nothing about gambling, but it feels like it should have some of the NIL problems in College Football. It just strikes me as odd that if I were an NFL player, people could bet on me or my team's performance, and I get no licensing cut or anything. And, if I do it, for other teams or maybe even other sports, I get suspended from my job.

I get that the NFL is trying to avoid a Pete Rose situation, but by suspending players, moving a team to Vegas, and so many owners having large stakes in these gambling companies, it feels like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too.
