I don't have a problem with it. They should be extremely strict about it. Now it would be nice if they treated domestic violence the same way...

Are you ok with them playing fantasy football, because they definitely do

There are rules they're supposed to follow for that as well. Something like only leagues with under $100 buy ins.

Yeah, players can literally bet against themselves in fantasy, but only if it's like 0.01% of their salary.

But if you bet 0.1% of your salary in a game you're not even playing, it's absolutely horrible and you deserve to be suspended for a year.

It's pretty much the same thing

I'm not that concerned about them playing fantasy but if you have to make that illegal too, go for it. I would rather there be no gray area than start relaxing rules. Players can wipe their tears with their million dollar checks and gamble as much as they want once they retire.
