NFL suspends four players

[Woodman]

The NFL on Thursday announced four players have been suspended for violating the league's gambling policy.

Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and free agent Demetrius Taylor are suspended indefinitely through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games in the 2022 season.

Nicholas Petit-Frere of the Tennessee Titans is suspended for the team's first six regular-season games of the 2023 season for betting on non-NFL sports at the club facility.

Rodgers, Berry and Taylor can petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season. The Colts waived Rodgers and Berry following the announcement of their indefinite suspensions.

What morons.

First, it should be obvious why no one should be able to bet on a sport/activity in which they are an active participant. And guys have gotten in trouble for this before.

Second, now that sports betting is legal in most places, it’s a dumb rule that players can’t bet on other sports from team facilities. But it’s still a rule. And it’s a rule that’s easy to avoid breaking. Just place the bet from home before or after practice.

Rodgers is an absolute idiot. He bet a prop on a game based on knowledge he had of the game plan.

At least tell one of your friends to make the bet you dumbass.
