The Shield Stands Alone: Why does the NFL Hate Sports Gambling? https://sports.vice.com/en_us/articl...ports-gambling

Here's a long history of the NFL's stance against gambling: http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id...ling-las-vegas

A few years ago the NFL filed suit to stop legalized gambling in Delaware: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...is-complete-bs

In November 2012, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell testified in a legal proceeding that gambling was No. 1 on his list of threats to the integrity of pro football in the U.S. In March, he also said the league doesn’t envision changing its policies just because the Raiders are moving to Las Vegas.

“Even social gambling among co-workers can lead to discord, violence and a loss of team cohesion,” the NFL policy states.

The league’s steadfast resistance to sports gambling stems from its fear that bettors might scandalize the NFL by bribing players or coaches to fix game scores to their benefit. "

Testifying before Congress about the National Football League’s interest in curbing sports betting, then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue said:

“Sports gambling threatens the character of team sports. Our games embody our very finest traditions and values. They stand for clean, healthy competition. They stand for teamwork. And they stand for success through preparation and honest effort. With legalized sports gambling, our games instead will come to represent the fast buck, the quick fix, the desire to get something for nothing. The spread of legalized sports gambling would change forever—and for the worse—what our games stand for and the way they are perceived.”
The NFL also filed a brief with the Supreme Court trying to keep PASPA in place:

So, you fucking retard, you can see that the NFL has always lobbied against sports gambling. ALWAYS. They benefit from it and they are hypocrites, but their public position has always been that they oppose it.
