Really? Can you source that?
That would be pretty damning, IMO (not that it would matter).

They could but would be illegal, and anyone who falsified the report would be risking their job.So, you somebody couldn't manipulate injury report data? What if you knew the QB of a team was hurt more than questionable and you bet on his replacement?

It's an issue for the NFL because NFL is accepting their advertising. Given the amount of advertising I bet it's a huge amount of income for the NFL. If the sites appear to be rigged, don't be surprised if there's a huge backlash.Those sites have no bearing on games. They could just as well be betting on the next day's weather. It doesn't matter if ten trillion dollars is bet, it doesn't effect the game just like money doesn't effect the weather.
The NFL doesn't care about this because they shouldn't care. It's an issue for the sites.
LOL, a gambling site that exists through a loophole in the law is going to throw the book around?They could but would be illegal, and anyone who falsified the report would be risking their job.
What are you talking about. These sites don't write injury reports.It's an issue for the NFL because NFL is accepting their advertising. Given the amount of advertising I bet it's a huge amount of income for the NFL. If the sites appear to be rigged, don't be surprised if there's a huge backlash.

Some of you guys have lost all connection to rational thought regarding the NFL since deflategate. You sound like the people that think the Patriots are manipulating space-time every time someone fumbles a football.

Not only should the NFL not care but I would argue it's not the NFLs job to protect people from their own stupid decisions. Whether I or anyone else wants to bet on how Brady will play Sunday is nobodies business.

This is exactly the kind of information that the "injury report" is supposed to supply. Before the injury report gamblers would have sources (and you are crazy to think that still don't) inside the teams. clubhouses, etc. who would tell them if someone was hurt, his wife left him, got the babysitter pregnant, etc. All factors to take into consideration before betting on a particular team.
The injury report was designed to level the playing field for gamblers. The NFL caters to gambling, because it is the reason the sport is so popular and profitable. I predict, that sometime in the near future, that much like European Soccer, you will be able to place bets on NFL games inside NFL stadiums.
Of course allowing this type of open betting has worked well for soccer to eliminate illegal betting and game throwing (NOT!!!!).
He should but there's gobs of money to be made so he won't, making gobs of money trumps everything else. Same for the League of Integrity.Kraft should drop his investment in any FF sight now. This is a gambling casino with NFL play
They could just as well be financing the mob by betting on a number. Or betting on horse races, that's always on the level. Gambling entities do not belong in football period. Integrity indeed. Kraft should dive away from this.

The relentless advertising of these gambling sites during NFL games and on NFL sites led my husband to remark last weekend that the league must own them. Not far from the truth, I see. Bookies all over the country must be miffed they are being run out of business by the league itself.1. There's some kind of scandal going on. I'll leave a more coherent explanation to those who actually have used the services/sites.
2. Along the way, it's being mentioned that these companies have lots of relevant investors -- leagues, team owners and so on. In particular, I didn't know that Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones have stakes in DraftKings.
I see this as very similar to gambling which, for some reason, the NFL staunchly opposes. In fact it seems to me like there is even more money at stake here.Some of you guys have lost all connection to rational thought regarding the NFL since deflategate.
