NFL Suspends Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley For Season After Betting On Games

1. I don’t watch the NFL anymore anyway, so I don’t give af. Funny story though 😂

2. Everyone will get a yr minimal

3. Charlamagne and I FINALLY have something in common (besides skin colour) We both don't f/w gambling

4. no worse than what congress does in the stock market.

5. The hypocrisy of the NFL is outrageous. It's ok for them to partner with sports betting companies therefore making money off of betting on football games but they ban a player for doing the same thing? Someone please explain to me how that makes sense?

6. He wasn’t even able to participate so I think it’s dumb and he’s undeserving of DOTD

7. So you can’t bet on games, but you punch your significant other and that’s less of an offense.

8. For those comparing this to Pete Rose, it’s a false equivalency as they played in two completely different leagues and Pete Rose unfortunately signed an agreement to be banned. He said for years he never placed bets then eventually admitted to betting on his team’s games. Rose was also adamant that he never bet against his team (however if someone lies for years saying they never did something then says well I did part of it but not all of it…the credibility is in question). That being said I don’t agree with Rose being banned for life since they weren’t able to unequivocally prove he bet against his team. I also think Rose being banned from the Hall of Fame was messy since players who tested dirty still can get in. The man had a great career and although wrong, he didn’t do something that seriously harmed anyone. I also don’t believe just because one league got it wrong, that another league needs to go down that same path…or if we’re doing 1 year suspensions for gambling for your team to win, the suspensions for other matters should be just as harsh.

9. Dirty ass nfl. The nfl is racist af.

10. “You can’t control how people react”
    Realest shit Charla

11. Oh so they can't bet on games 🙊🙈🙉🤯 I didn't know that 🙉🙈
    🙊lost the bag 💰in your own house 👀

12. Well at least he recognized that he has a mental issue

13. Why not just give a friend the money to do the bet

14. What if a casino allowed it's employees to place bets on whether or not individual gamblers would win?

    Regardless of cheating, they can directly influence the outcome. It is a conflict of interest.

    Bet on another sport.

15. Falcons aint recovered since that 28-3 slip up in the superbowl

16. A definite “hee haw” – how stupid can you be?🤦🏾‍♀️

17. The only crime I see in the Calvin Ridley situation is that he actually thought betting on the Atlanta Falcons was a good idea.🤦🏾‍♂️😂👎🏾🤷🏾‍♂️🏈💵🎰

18. Looks like he'll be betting on when he returns to football now…

19. People bet all the time on football games why NFL players can’t do that man I’m dead

20. After that serious choke in the Superbowl, they haven't been the same…

    Is what I would say if Falcons choking wasn't a natural occurrence😑

21. $1500 parlay lose a $11M a year yeah he dumber than a bag of rocks

22. CTG you get Donkey of the Day for trying somewhat defend him. He bet on the game and won $1500.00. He lost $11 Million for $1500.00. That was plain stupid.

23. So what's wrong with athletes betting on games? They're just trying to create another possible income stream.

24. That threesome analogy is bad. Any man that’s been part of one knows that shit doesn’t go down unless the girls are feeling each other. A guy might cheat because his girl doesn’t like the side chick.
