The NFL's gambling policy, at least according to Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, is way too confusing.
As it stands, NFL personnel are prohibited from betting on NFL games in all circumstances, regardless of where they are when they place the bet or who they place it through. They are also not allowed to place any bets or engage in gambling activity while at team facilities. NFL players can bet on sports outside of football.
Payton said he essentially tore up material the NFL sent him about its gambling policy earlier this spring, as it was “awful.” He worked with his front office to come up with a streamlined version for the Broncos that they can actually understand. Payton delivered a very clear message to his locker room about the league’s gambling policy in order to try and clear it up, which led to him making a striking comparison to another NFL policy.
"You can't bet on NFL football, ever, ever, ever," he said, via USA Today."I don't give a [expletive] what it is. "The other thing is, it's the same as the gun policy. You can't bet on nothing if you're at your facility, your hotel, your airplane. So, wherever you can't carry a gun, you can't place a bet … You can't bring a gun to the parking lot … the team hotel … to training camp … to the stadium."
