NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell releases statement on gambling

NFL’s spring meeting is being held this week in Atlanta, commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement on a major issue for the league: sports gambling.
Commissioner Goodell and the NFL have tried to distance themselves from gambling in order to assure fans they are committed to protecting the integrity of the game, but wagering on football games is something that has gone on for years.
NFL Commmissioner Roger Goodell issued the following statement in regards to sports betting:
“As it was for my predecessors, there is no greater priority for me as the Commissioner of the National Football League than protecting the integrity of our sport. Our fans, our players and our coaches deserve to know that we are doing everything possible to ensure no improper influences affect how the game is played on the field. This week’s ruling by the Supreme Court has no effect on that unwavering commitment.
We have spent considerable time planning for the potential of broadly legalized sports gambling and are prepared to address these changes in a thoughtful and comprehensive way, including substantial education and compliance trainings for our clubs, players, employees and partners. These efforts include supporting commonsense legislation that protects our players, coaches and fans and maintains public confidence in our games. We are asking Congress to enact uniform standards for states that choose to legalize sports betting that include, at a minimum, four core principles:
1. There must be substantial consumer protections;
2. Sports leagues can protect our content and intellectual property from those who attempt to steal or misuse it;
3. Fans will have access to official, reliable league data; and
4. Law enforcement will have the resources, monitoring and enforcement tools necessary to protect our fans and penalize bad actors here at home and abroad.”
