NFL Mandates In-Person Gambling Training for Players

NFL players Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers rescinded a $10,000 wager on who would be named the NFL's offensive rookie of the year after realizing it violated the league's gambling policy. The NFL addressed the issue by providing multiple education training sessions to the players, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the gambling rules. This incident highlights the league's intensified efforts to educate all players and employees on gambling policies, with mandatory in-person training sessions now required. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell noted that disciplinary measures have been imposed on players and employees, reinforcing the integrity of the game. The NFL's policy forbids betting on NFL games, having others place bets for employees, and sharing inside information. This comprehensive approach aims to maintain the game's integrity amidst the growing legalization of sports betting.
