No argument here. Really don’t understand why it matters if they are 500feet from the facility.

My assumption is that they think that keeps it from becoming a culture within the facility which can eventually lead to where players and staff start making wagers on NFL games using insider information or something similar.

It’s a well known secret that when Michael Vick got busted for dogfighting, he fell on the sword for a lot of athletes/owners and other powerful people.

That isnt a technicallity. That is the actual rule.
You can pay for sex with a whore in Nevada legally. You do it in a church in Chicago and it is illegal.
It isnt a big deal but he will still miss 6 games because he and the team are morons. Have to be really stupid to not ensure everyone knows this rule and follow it. The fact multiple players and coaches got fucked over this just shows how poorly run an org the Lions are if the 31 years without a playoff win didnt convince you.

It’s looked down upon with a prostitute but not with altar boys. I think they even make you something called a “priest.” Whatever that is

ahhhh, so then that 500' is very important? If it is so important, why does the NFL allow Sponsorship from these sports wagering apps?

I think people are getting too caught up in the 500' reference. The reality is that they don't want the wagers to be done on team property. Same idea as smokers nowadays. Numerous corporations have banned smoking from their facility, so now people have to walk to just outside the facility grounds to feed their addiction. Same deal.
As far as why the NFL allows sports wagering sponsorships? After they lost the court battle(s) to try and keep gambling out of the business, they immediately pivoted to exploiting it as much as they can. Newsflash: the NFL is in it for the money. The owners, as a group, care about making money first, second, third, and everything else is tertiary.

Can you read? I literally said it is not a big deal. However the Lions are still morons for getting suspended for something they could easily avoid and everyone knows is a rule.
2 things can be true. This is not a big deal. The Lions players and coaches suspended are fucking morons. That is all.

It's crazy to see how much companies like FanDuel have taken foothold in the NFL over the years. Fun fact, I was one of the original consultants for FanDuel before they had received their first round of seed funding and no one had heard of them. There were like 10 people total, including employees and consultants.
