You literally can't walk both sides of that "gambling bad for you but good for me" This would be like if you filled your house with cocaine and then got mad you caught your son snorting coke...

If the NFL fines the players who they suspend for gambling, I wonder if they give the money to charities who fight gambling addiction, which in turn is caused by the NFL's implicit promotion of gambling.
(I say this while realizing that the promotion is really by the networks who make money from gambling ads, but if the NFL was serious about shutting down gambling, they'd require the networks to not discuss gambling on pre-game shows or sell gambling advertisements during games.)
