Ridley is not the only individual who has been punished for violating NFL rules pertaining to gambling since US states could legalize sports betting in wake of the US Supreme Court 토토사이트 overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) nearly five years ago.
In November 2019, the league suspended Arizona Cardinals defensive back Josh Shaw through at least the 2020 season after he placed wagers on games at a Caesars Sportsbook in Las Vegas. Goodell reinstated Shaw on March 20, 2021, but no NFL team signed him. He did play last season for the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL.
This past December, the league also suspended then-New York Jets receivers coach Miles Austin III after it determined he bet on other sports. While the NFL has a strict across-the-board policy against betting on league games and events for players, coaches, and team staff, the league’s gambling policy also bars coaches and team officials from betting on other pro, major collegiate, and global sporting events.

And they’ve done it with the sportsbooks keeping their odds of winning the Metropolitan Division unusually high. With just under two months left in the regular season, the Rangers trail the Carolina Hurricanes by seven points and the New Jersey Devils by four points.

Alexis Lafreniere, their first-round pick in 2020, scored the game-tying tally with 7:12 left in regulation Saturday night to help force overtime. He also recorded a crucial third-period tally and the shootout winner against the Oilers Friday night. Lafreniere recorded points in six of his last seven games, as well as 10 of his last 11, with linemates Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil controlling the offensive zone.
