Where do the Atlanta Falcons and suspended WR Calvin Ridley go ... (Blogging Dirty)

The NFL has suspended Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley for betting on NFL games. A surprising turn in what has been an odd.

Despite Ridley’s promise to come back healthier the best move for Atlanta in this situation is to move on. Sports gambling is a fast-growing industry you don’t have to be a sports fan to be aware of that fact. From Atlanta’s perspective, this is a huge loss for a team that is now definitively going to be without Calvin next season. That is an admirable decision but in the midst of a good decision, Ridley made one that will haunt him for the rest of his career. Pete Rose is the headline example of a player whose great career was changed in the fact his career is often remembered not for the great career he had but for the horrible mistakes he made. Ridley was suspended for betting on NFL games after leaving the Atlanta Falcons during the season.

Houston Texans can forget about Calvin Ridley (Toro Times)

That got Ridley suspended for the entire 2022 NFL season, and he is the first notable player since Indianapolis Colts quarterback Art Schlichter in 1983. So any ...

The reality is that Ridley’s situation doesn’t impact Watson at all. So is that why the Houston Texans haven’t traded Deshaun Watson yet? The Falcons may have known that this was coming, and as a result, they did not trade Ridley due to acting in “ good faith.”

The NFL has suspended Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley at least through the 2022 season for betting on NFL games last season.

Even before the suspension, Ridley's future with the Falcons was in doubt. With the decision that was made by the NFL, any further questions on the investigation should be directed to the league office.'' ``This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. We are moving forward in the 2022 season with the decision that was made. ``We were first made aware of the league's investigation on Feb. 9,'' the Falcons said in the statement.

Il ne semble pas trop se prendre la tête avec la suspension compte tenu du message qu’il a partagé ensuite: «Je sais que j’ai tort, mais ce n’est qu’un an haha. Ridley a été placé sur la liste des blessés non reliés au football après la huitième semaine d’activités, qui s’est conclue le 1er novembre. Ridley ne jouera pas en 2022 et il n’y a aucune garantie pour le futur dans la NFL pour ce dernier.

La NFL, la poule aux œufs d'or et Calvin Ridley (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

Martin Leclerc souligne l'ambiguïté de la relation entre les ligues professionnelles et les paris sportifs.

Malgré ces restrictions, la NFL a épinglé deux de ses joueurs depuis que les paris sportifs ont envahi l’espace public. Au Canada, le Parlement a décidé de s’engager dans cette voie en avril 2021 en légalisant les paris sportifs sur des matchs uniques. On leur souligne constamment qu’ils encourent de sévères suspensions et des pertes de salaires gigantesques s’ils franchissent cette ligne. Le magazine Forbes rapportait récemment qu’en 2021, les Américains ont parié une somme record de 57,22 milliards sur des événements sportifs et qu’il s’agissait d’une hausse de 165 % par rapport à 2020. Jusque-là, les grands championnats professionnels avaient toujours combattu les paris sportifs comme la peste. Mais voilà que la tendance semble se renverser.

A One-Year Suspension for Calvin Ridley Is Absurd (unknown)

Because you don't want the player “fixing” or “throwing” the game. Well, guess what? Calvin Ridley has an $11 million contract with the Falcons. He's not going ...

It’s a terrible look for the NFL to have one of its players betting on games, and a terrible look for Ridley to be making some NFL wagers on an app when everyone knows the NFL has a rule banning sports betting. 6. The latest SI Media Podcast features an interview with Jim Miller. The author, reporter and podcast host shared his insights on all the recent NFL broadcaster madness. But in the Twitter world, you’re definitely not allowed to be on the owners’ side. 2. We live in a time when you have to take sides during a fight, but I don’t understand why anyone would take sides in the owners-vs.-players dispute in MLB. I’m not on any side. ESPN and fans rightfully expect me to be objective, and my record shows I’m extremely committed to representing all sides of a story. Calvin Ridley has an $11 million contract with the Falcons. He’s not going to fix a game in order to win a few thousand dollars when he’s already making that kind of money. Pat McAfee match at WrestleMania and more. In this instance, I fell short of that standard.” Ridley is also not being a top-level star. Here’s where common sense comes in: You know why a player betting on his own team is considered “bad”? Because you don’t want the player “fixing” or “throwing” the game. Troy Aikman to ESPN. Joe Buck to ESPN? What is going on with Al Michaels? Where will Fox turn for a No. 1 NFL booth? They don’t need the money.
