5. The NFL’s new partnership
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2849262-mike-freemans-10-point-stance-antonio-brown-raiders-marriage-destined-to-fail
Something happened recently that you may not have heard about, but it is one of the most important, and historic, moves the NFL has ever made.
The NFL for years has partnered with a data-gathering firm called Sportradar AG, which distributed statistical information to the media and other entities. But Eben Novy-Williams of Bloomberg reports the NFL is now going to use the company to provide gambling data to legal sports betting operators in this country and overseas.
This is a huge deal. In essence, this is the NFL's first step toward publicly embracing gambling.
While the league has long accepted that wagering happens, it has heretofore been on a more covert level. Injury reports, pregame show picks, etc. Now, since gambling on sports is legal almost everywhere, the NFL doesn't have to be shy. There are billions of dollars involved in gambling, and it is going to secure its portion of that bag.
You would expect no less from the NFL. Or, really, any sports league.
