The NFL is deeply in bed with the gambling companies. You look one way, and you’ve got a third down brought to you by DraftKings. You look the other way, and the stadium you walk into has a casino’s name on it. Dig deeper, and you’ll see that going back before the explosion of legalized gambling, you had NFL owners investing in companies leading the way on all of this.
It’s an interesting context when you consider the complicated case of Brendan Sorsby after the NFL declined the former Cincinnati and Texas Tech quarterback’s application to enter the supplemental draft and will not hold one this summer.
