I do remember hearing that.

I get it what you’re saying tho. As someone who sports gambles it doesn’t really bother me if an athlete does bc I doubt the winnings they would take from “throwing games” or something would be bigger than their actual paycheck. However because it’s such a grey area and I imagine pretty hard to regulate and enforce, I can empathize why professional sports leagues would not allow it at all and be so harsh about it.
