Follow usNFL chief compliance officer Sabrina Perel is working hard on the matter of illegal gambling in the sport.
Perel’s main goal it to educate the approximately 17,000 players, coaches, team personnel and others about the league’s gambling policies.
She’s already met with more than a dozen NFL teams in their training camps, sending the same message to everyone: “You need to follow the policy at all times. … because this truly does impact the entire team.”
On Thursday the league suspended four more players for violations of its gambling policy. Three received at least yearlong bans for betting on NFL games and one a six-game suspension for wagering on non-NFL games.
This brings the total to 10 players disciplined over the past two years as the league vows to increase training efforts across the board to protect the game.
