WOW!! I totally forgot about the brothels. This is gonna be disastrous. I hope this will be the beginning of congress finally getting involved in these sports leagues like they should.

Step back from this for a second: disciplined for arm wrestling in Vegas. Yet they're moving the Raiders there. It's this kind of sh!t, this rank hypocrisy, that people hate about the league - not the players or the game, but the league and the owners.

I know what you're trying to say but a team moving to Vegas has nothing to do with players being in a casino and getting paid to promote non sanctioned NFL s**t without getting prior permission. It's already in the rules. It will prob be changed. Players get fined for wearing the wrong color socks. Big whoop. lol

My read on history tells me that this nation fought a nasty war to end this kind of control of human beings. There's no logic that excuses that kind of control an employer should have over their employees. Trust me, the day is coming when these owners will go too far and congress will have to get evolved to regulate these leagues like they do all other sectors of the employer/employee relations.These blue-blooded league owners think that they actually own these players, these human beings.

I don't see how the league can continue this stance while putting a team in Las Vegas. The only reason why Vegas is even a viable option is because of whats been built off gambling.

From what I understand, this is a charity event where the proceeds are coming from TV revenue, not gambling. It takes place in a casino, but there won't be any gambling in the background while the event is going on. All the machines are powered off.

The whole thing is silly. I don't expect Bowman to be disciplined in any way, maybe a small fine. Probably not even worth fighting over, just pay the fine and get the league out of his hair.

Well the arm wrestling event was captured and produced for television by CBS, a television partner of the NFL if my memory serves correctly LOL. That sounds like an NFL sanctioned event to me.

According to the NFL, players participating in this specific event — without pre-approval — are in violation of the gambling policy and subject to discipline.

*key words in bold

they clearly didn't go through the proper procedures for this event. If they did it wouldn't be a thing.

lol

Ok. . . . So let me get this straight: you're telling us that it's "sanctioned" by the NFL because it was produced by CBS, and because they are a "partner" with the NFL a player (on his off-time) cannot hold charity event by CBS? Tell me, does CBS have to get the NFL's permission to air anything with NFL players, regardless of the purpose?

Could have just read the story that was posted and saved the time it took to type all these stupid words.

I did read read the story. I was asking common-man obvious questions to make a point: No employer should have this kind of control over their human employees. If players aren't acting on behalf of the NFL they shouldn't prohibited from doing anything legal, with anyone. Nor should CBS, or any other broadcaster for that matter, have to get the NFL's "permission" for anything regarding grown men. The NFL's position is simply unconscionable and defy's common-man sense, especially given that they have just voted - overwhelmingly - to place a team in Vegas. And perhaps I read over it but I read nowhere that the NFL fined CBS.

The fine hairs the NFL is splitting are amazing: place a team in the gambling (and prostitution) hub of America
