Falcons WR Ridley Suspended

Post by Defense5599 »

He will sit out the entire 2022 season. Apparently he was betting on NFL games.

I thought I saw a report it was Falcons games. Not good.

What a moron.

Looks like it wasn't some nefarious scheme or anything, just a bored dude on his couch. He even bet on the Falcons to win in his parlay.

The NFL will still make an example of him. They have to. This is too big of a can of worms to leave any gray area. But once the shock dies down I expect a reduction upon appeal.

They actually sent out a memo in 2018, telling exactly what you can't do. That was sent to everyone in the NFL. Players, coaches, staff, front offices, and other league personnel. It said he couldn't gamble on any professional sport. Being bored on your coach doesn't excuse it. But, since he confessed and Goodell praised him for it, I doubt it will be the last option.
Violations of this Policy constitute conduct
detrimental to the League and will subject the involved Club and/or person(s) to appropriate
disciplinary action by the Commissioner. Such disciplinary action may include, without limitation,
severe penalties, up to and including a fine, termination of employment and/or banishment from the
NFL for life.

Should he be harshly suspended? Yes. For obvious reasons.

Is it reasonable to note that players who kick the shit out of their baby mamas get a month suspension? Yeah, I think that's reasonable to note also.

Yes, I fully understand the difference between professional ethics and personal ethics, as well as ethics versus morality. It's just important to note that the NFL has zero interest in right and wrong, and any PR they vomit out to the contrary should be laughed at.
