I get the NFL doesn't want it's players gambling on games they could "fix". However, IIRC Ridley was on a leave already and made a mistake, and even bet on the Falcons to win.
Suspend him, sure, but I thought it should of been reduced.
Bet on games, 1 year. Beat your wife, 6 games.

All the while you see 30 commercials during a game with multiple ways for fans to bet on the gamess.

as regards gambling the NFL is by far the most hypocritical entity around.

And your comparison is a perfect example.

The NFL cares about what affects their business, not wives. The only reason players get any suspension for that is PR.

Or be on the Dallas roster. Then many things are created for suspension. Or obscure rules that cost games.

We have to watch that Kevin Hart DraftKings Sportsbook commercial 10 times every NFL Sunday, but NFL players can’t even gamble their own money on other sports.
