Over betting on games but Congress is allowed to buy and trade stocks. Hmmm seems odd to me.

They've gotta keep up some pretense of being beholden to the law.

Yeah, this one doesn't sit right with me. Ridley wasn't playing in the games he bet on, and he even cooperated and admitted what happened. I see why the league needs to be very paranoid about any appearance of game fixing, but I think they should have found a different punishment.

I do wonder how often owners bet on NFL games...twould be fascinating to know. Maybe they only do it in person-to-person fat cat ways so it's not officially recorded.

Betting on games as a player, coach, manager, or owner has been extremely frowned upon and despised for over a century. He's lucky to not get blacklisted.

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal about athletes betting on games as long as it's not on their own team losing (like the black Sox scandal)
