The NFL seems to be increasingly cracking down on gambling among not just its players but its non-player employees as well. There has been great emphasis put on it this offseason in the wake of half a dozen or more players being hit with year-long suspensions due to gambling activities in which they partook, with one player reportedly losing $8 million alone.
But does the league really have the soft authority to take this stance? Of course, they can put in place any rules and regulations they wish as long as they don’t violate any laws, state or federal.
