NFL really has their priorities straight

It's really fucking simple -- DO NOT BET ON YOUR LEAGUE'S GAMES! For any reason, for any amount. Period. End of story.

How was the first player to get banned from this in this era not from the Raiders? Figured they would have had one before the end of their first preseason there.

Of course they do. 

Beat woman... has to effect on ability of league to make money

Have players betting on games which calls into question the legitimacy of the league as a "sporting event"? Could ruin the league if left unchecked. 

So back in my days on the 40 acres, had a class next to PJ Tucker and LaMarcus Aldridge. So about a dozen of us would be outside the classrooms early. One day this nerdy guy asked PJ Tucker if he ever did sports betting. He shut any sort of that talk down quick, and told the guy no way because he would get in huge trouble.

And that's it. That's my cool story, bro. 

He lost $11 million in salary on $1,500 in wagers. Well fucking done, dude. 

Doubling down in stupidity on Twitter isn’t going to help him either. But then, what should we expect? It’s a pretty clear rule.

Maybe, maybe not.  You have a stupid problem, Calvin.

 

Calvin, a period in the middle of your tweet would help. Unless you want to make a wager about the extent of your gambling addiction. 

the outcry from people that think it’s too harsh a punishment is quite entertaining. thankfully it’ll last a good long while.

He's an idoit, integrity of games blah blah, but the NFL has totally embraced gambling

Total chickenshit 

You got guys beat the shit out of women Joe Mixon and only get a couple games

fascinating that people don’t seem to understand what it means to have an NFL player betting on NFL games. 

Jason Garrett should have been suspended for greater display of idiocy.  See also: Jerry Jones.

I’m sure the Falcons, who are in Matt Ryan salary cap hell, are really upset about $11.5M coming off their 2022 cap.

I'm totally ok with him being suspended for a season. I'm not ok with wife beaters and child abusers getting a lesser punishment from the league.

Sure I do

Meh, the issue I have is that the punishment is skewed compared to other stuff the NFL has suspended players for.

"Oh but this is integrity of the game" (clutches pearls)

I'm all about suspending him for a year at least, i would think anyone involved with the NFL betting on the NFL is a lot like insider trading with the info they have access to. But you make a good point and i would like to see punishment for those infractions to be more serious as well.

How many games did Mr. Ridley bet on and was he betting on games in which he played?

A theoretical justification for going light on actual criminal offenses like domestic violence is that it is not the NFLs job to punish criminals and assess their guilt. 

While a gambling scandal probably isn't criminal at all. And the only party injured by it is the NFL. 

But that isn't the reason for any of this.

What if a player wanted to make 17 moneyline bets on his team to win each game of the season, the same amount for each game, and they wanted to put down all of the bets the day before training camp opened?

The NFL went all in promoting gambling this year and cashing in on it, then bans a player for betting when he wasn't playing.

I know the rule is clear and he should be suspended.

BUT....... Calvin Ridley can't bet on his team to win but Stephen Ross can bribe his employee/coach to intentionally lose games? That's kinda fucked up...

I think Ross could still lose his team.

Doesnt matter rules are clearly stated in the CBA agreeed on by the NFL and NFLPA. 

He’s a complete f-ing idiot. However, a year for placing bets during a week you didn’t even play is a little ridiculous. That goes double when viewed in light of other suspensions.
