The NFL suspended four players Thursday for violating its gambling policy, adding to a growing list of such suspensions imposed this offseason.
“There’s two basic rules, and they’ve been around for a very long time,” Jeff Miller, the NFL’s executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy, said last week in a video news conference. “One, don’t bet on the NFL — no player or coach or any other personnel. Secondly, don’t wager from the team facility. There’s lots of things that you cannot do at work that you can do at home. And this is one of them.
“Everybody should know when somebody has been found to be engaged in sports betting that there are ramifications with real discipline, serious discipline … because the integrity of the game has to be held at such a high standard that there’s no tolerance for those sorts of behaviors,” Miller said last week.
“And hopefully by being transparent and offering some deterrent to others, we can ensure that if it were to happen, it doesn’t happen again,” he added. “So while this may not be the last time we have this conversation, I am sure that we’ll treat it the same way in an effort to try to deter future acts of sports gambling so that we can make sure that our game lives up to the highest level of integrity.
