Read article →The NFL suspended 10 players during the spring and summer of 2023 for violating its gambling policy, with some found to have placed bets on games involving their own teams, exposing significant inconsistencies in how players understood the rules governing wagering in an era of rapidly expanding legalized sports betting. The league issued fresh guidance to all teams acknowledging that the national proliferation of legal sportsbooks since the Supreme Court's 2018 Murphy v.
