NFL's Gambling Decision is a Very Bad Call

Here's an update from Les Bernal, the Executive Director of Stop Predatory Gambling:

The NFL recently approved its teams pairing up with state lotteries to create football themed scratch off tickets.

Contact your home team today or
NFL Headquarters and let them know that there's a reason the NFL and other sports teams don't allow their members to gamble on games. It's because the culture of predatory gambling is corrupt and corrupting.

Allowing state lotteries to use NFL team logos on predatory gambling products like scratch tickets may not violate the letter of NFL regulations, but it sure violates the spirit.

Thank you for caring enough to get involved...
