The NFL is harsher on gamblers than woman beaters

 

[Chewbaccer]

He was betting on games he wasn’t playing and had no influence in. Stupid rule.

Players can't bet on games they have no influence of but they can play Fantasy Football and the league can profit off of Fantasy Football.

Hypocritical if you ask me.

So in baseball it's a lifetime ban and in football it's one season?

Yes, because Pete wouldn't have all those hits if he wasn't betting

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I dont understand what is wrong with this?

If he were betting against his team I guess I could see it, but short of that.
Who cares?

 

[noonthirtyjoe]

Players know the games are fixed by the refs so he had a unfair advantage. Should be gone for ever.

 

[JohnShadows]

Wonder if he won the bets?

No, no no. Pete had his bookies pay the other team to allow him to have all of those hits.

Don't bet on it!

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I'll be honest. I had no idea who he was until I googled him. Gambling, always has been and always will be the big taboo for players, etc but the league benefits greatly from everybody else doing it.

But Brady gets away with it!!!!!

Tom Brady and Chase Winovich pay off Patriots' Ohio State bet with teammates

Yeah that's important ... If you were betting on games you're in that would be BAD BAD BAD .... Especially if you're putting your money on the other team...
