Calvin Ridley puts some context on the gambling of NFL games
It was announced earlier that the NFL has suspended Calin Ridley of the Atlanta Falcons for at least 1 a year due to illegal gambling on NFL games.
Here is a list of Tweet that Calvin Ridley posted after the news broke out:
"I bet 1500 total I don't have a gambling problem".
"I couldn't even watch football at that point"
"Just gone be more healthy when I come back"
This is shocking developments. In the history of the NFL, only 5 players have been caught gambling on the outcome of NFL games. Here is the list:
1963�Alex Karras�
1963�Paul Hornung�
1983�Art Schlichter�
2019�Josh Shaw�
2022�Calvin Ridley
Lindsay Jones reported that Ridley placed 3 parlays (A 3-leg, a 5-leg and an 8-leg). One of those included the Falcons to win a game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Atlanta ended up winning. All bets were placed from a mobile phone in the state of Florida.
Ridley was already under the spotlight because of the weird way that his 2021 season ended. However, with this news breaking out, he will have a tough time getting back from this. He will most likely have to answer questions about this subject for the rest of his career.
One time is for sure, the community of NFL "Memes" will not let this one go...
