NFL now has confirmed the indefinite suspension of Cardinals personnel executive Ryan Gold for violating the league’s gambling policy.
NFL statement: "The NFL confirmed today that Ryan Gold, Director of College Scouting for the Arizona Cardinals, has been suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL’s Gambling Policy. This suspension is effective immediately.
“The Gambling Policy, which is annually reviewed with all NFL personnel, strictly prohibits anyone in the NFL from participating in or facilitating any form of sports gambling, and from providing third parties non-public information.
“The League’s investigation determined that Gold provided confidential, non-public inside information regarding 2026 Draft selections by the Cardinals before they were announced, and that Mr. Gold participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games.
“Although there is no reason to believe the integrity of any NFL game was affected, the League takes any violation of the Gambling Policy with the utmost seriousness.
“Mr. Gold has the right to appeal.”
@neoliberal_hack Insurance IS a tax. It just doesnt come from the government. It comes from a private corporation who are incentivized to inflate prices, deny claims, and obfuscate process in the pursuit of profit.
@piersmorgan Lindsey Graham spent his life screwing over South Carolinians, Americans, and citizens of the world in pursuit of power, money, and relevance.
Whatever moral compass he may have possessed he turned away from long ago.
Just because he's dead doesnt stop that from being true.
Mamdani: The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal.
At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest. But time and again-including 250 years ago-those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.
And yet today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted-but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.
As we mark 250 years, what do we see?
We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world— one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands —those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone —and we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
First this BS, then the red card vs Balogun, now Croatia getting robbed.
Once again, if FIFA ever wants soccer to become mainstream in the US, they need to reduce reliance on VAR and apply common sense to the rules.
Soccer is more fun when teams are actually allowed to score.
It’s simply too hard to score goals to have so many randomly invalidated due to meaningless foot placement. I mean this is completely undetectable to the human eye and has zero bearing on the play. Technology has ruined this game
@garrett_psd@grntransam@KyleWilliamsHim@SharpFootball Lol US soccer fans care. They want it be as widely veiwed & followed as the NFL. But also FIFA, MLS, EPL, La Liga, etc. Not to mention the whole ecosystem of media, sponsors, stadiums/cities.
They'd all benefit greatly from the world's richest country embracing the sport.
@garrett_psd@grntransam@KyleWilliamsHim@SharpFootball The officials got the call technically correct
Longtime soccer fans have every right to dismiss me as a dumb, american tourist of the sport (I am)
If US soccer fans want the sport to become mainstream in America, the sport should actually ENCOURAGE scoring, not make it harder
