I think that whole narrative will have changed in five years and we'll look back at Calvin Ridley's ban as even more of an embarrassment.

Look this is not difficult. There is no hypocrisy or conflict with the NFL promoting DraftKings etc....and banning players from betting. Its freaking common sense and the concept isn't unique.
When any company does some kind of raffle or giveaway, lets say a Radio station for example, employees of the station and their family members are barred from entering the contest? Why? Its clear as to why and nobody bitches about that do they?
The whole narrative is stupid. Oh my God players cant gamble!
So what? If they want to gamble so bad they can stop playing in the NFL. People act like its a constitutional right or something.
