The Nevada congresswoman who had earlier voiced concerns about the lack of clarity in the league's protocols applauded the National Football League for its recent implementation of updated sports betting policies.
After a string of gambling-related infractions involving almost a dozen players, the NFL announced harsher sanctions for players who are caught placing bets. Gambling on NFL games now carries an indefinite suspension of at least one year under the new policy. A minimum two-year suspension is imposed if a player bets on their own team. A lifetime ban results from fixing a game.
