Tom Brady Joins NFL’s Campaign Against Player Gambling
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:There is a great deal of pressure on the National Football League (NFL) after several players were found to be allegedly breaking its betting policies. The league has reacted quickly, reminding teams of their duty to educate players about gambling policies.
However, the NFL is seeking to go further and has brought in Tom Brady as part of a campaign to promote awareness of the issue. Brady is set to be part of an educational video that NFL teams will use to teach their players about the risks of gambling.
In recent weeks, a number of players were found to be gambling, and while many admitted their mistake, a number said that they were unaware of the NFL’s gambling policies. The aim of the video is to ensure that all players are fully aware of the rules regarding gambling. As such, future penalties for gambling offenses are likely to be far harsher.
In the video, Brady speaks about his love of the sport and his career. He then goes into detail about why players should not gamble, explaining how it can damage the sport’s integrity and overshadow genuine achievements.
Isaiah Rodgers, the Indianapolis Colts cornerback and kick returner, is the latest player to be accused of gambling. At first, he avoided commenting on the issue, but he has since tweeted what appears to be an apology and a promise to change his behavior.
In 2019, Arizona quarterback Josh Shaw was suspended for 21 months after he was found to be betting on football games. Furthermore, the Detroit Lions had five players suspended this year, including Jameson Williams, for gambling.
