Is NFL hypocritical or hypervigilant in betting punishment?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:43:15 GMT

Sixty years after Paul Hornung and Alex Karras were suspended a full season for wagering on football games, gambling is now as much a part of the NFL spectacle as mock drafts, tailgating and Super Bowl halftime shows.The Raiders now play a dice roll from the Las Vegas Strip, and the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball just announced they’ve signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a ballpark close to Sin City’s famous casinos. Gambling is no longer a pariah but a massive moneymaker for the NFL, which has several lucrative sponsorships with online gambling sites and even a brick-and-mortar sportsbook at one of its stadiums.So, is it two-faced for the league that has so embraced legalized wagering to suspend some of its players for betting on football games and other sporting events from their phones like millions of NFL fans are constantly encouraged to do?“I think it’s hypocritical,” said former Steelers and Bears quarterback Jim Miller. “You can’t li...

ANÁLISIS | Biden y Trump estarán en la carrera por la presidencia de 2024, y cada uno hará una campaña histórica para la reelección

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:43:15 GMT

(CNN) — Se espera que el presidente de Estados Unidos Joe Biden lance una campaña de reelección como ninguna antes este martes con un llamado a los estadounidenses para que lo elijan nuevamente para salvar la democracia. Esto ocurre menos de tres años después de que se suponía que su derrota de Donald Trump restauraría la normalidad y uniría al país.La búsqueda de Biden para un segundo mandato se desarrollará en medio de lo que normalmente serían circunstancias profundamente poco prometedoras, con su índice de aprobación languideciendo por debajo del 40% en las encuestas, con el país agotado por sucesivas crisis después de que el aislamiento pandémico cediera a una batalla contra la inflación galopante. Las encuestas muestran que la mayoría de los votantes, e incluso la mayoría de los demócratas, no quieren que vuelva a presentarse. Y lo último que parece querer el país es una revancha de Biden con el presidente número 45, quien es el actual favorito en la incipiente carrera p...

Biden announces 2024 reelection bid: 'Let’s finish this job'

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:43:15 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday formally announced that he is running for reelection in 2024, asking voters to give him more time to “finish the job” he began when he was sworn into office and to set aside their concerns about extending the run of America’s oldest president for another four years.Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term, is betting his first-term legislative achievements and more than 50 years of experience in Washington will count for more than concerns over his age. He faces a smooth path to winning his party’s nomination, with no serious Democratic rivals. But he’s still set for a hard-fought struggle to retain the presidency in a bitterly divided nation.The announcement, in a three-minute video, comes on the four-year anniversary of when Biden declared for the White House in 2019, promising to heal the “soul of the nation” amid the turbulent presidency of Donald Trump — a goal that has remained elusive. “I said we are in a battle for t...
