Williams suspended for gambling!

@HiFidelity

They didn’t say that, but rather that his football betting wasn’t the reason for the suspension

Reread it and thanks I get what the infraction was.

[Motorcitymaniac]

I swear we can’t have nice things, this is the most Lions thing ever. Totally disgusted right now.

[Nate]

I wonder about Goff’s leadership on this one. Is he at fault? Would this have happened with Stafford?

@Dollarsandsense

@Phunnypharm

they are not disputing the allegation.

.

But in that statement they say he was NOT betting on football. So what was he betting on? ALL betting is illegal? A reasonable assumption could be “I (Jamo)was betting on a basketball game and I thought the rule was just that I couldn’t bet on football.”

My point is why not try to have it reduced and bring light into the fact it WAS NOT football.

Obviously many here do not grasp why gambling in general is frowned upon.

It’s not just “if he bets on his game he might throw the game”. It’s way bigger than that.

It is because gamblers get into debt and then are coerced into into throwing games to get out of debt. Jordan was in hot water for losing his ass on the golf course.

The point is when you owe people money they have leverage on you.

All that said, using a app that is run by one of the major casino companies is actually way less problematic than gambling through a bookie. The casinos are corporate now. They are not run by the mob anymore. Nobody from MGM is going track you down and suggest they will wipe your debt if you throw a game.

But that is the exact thing you worry about when gambling with bookies…you get $200K in debt and the guy offers to wipe your debt if you throw a game “just this once”. Because the bookie can make it go away and can make way more than $200K if he knows he has a game “in the bag”.

It’s all about not letting the gamblers get their hooks in the players for any kind of gambling debt, not just “did they bet on a game they were playing in”

I felt like we all needed a chuckle.

@Nate

(Just let me vent. This is the worst possible scenario for this team at this moment).

THE worst possible outcome? Worse than if he went say…the Ray Rice route? Come on man. I know you’re upset by this but there’s WAY worse things that could have happened than a kid making some online bets.

[wolfcub36]

PLEASE, they knew what they were doing was wrong !

[wolfcub36]

WR just became a BIG need this draft…

[Blizer]

Honestly atleast we can say they are just idiots instead of monsters like 24 and counting over in cleveland

@Weaselpuppy

This matters if we lose games that we could have won with better offense in the 6 or hopefully 4 that Jamo is suspended, really.

It makes me think they will take a WR, but not rd 1. Maybe rd 2 now. Burner replacement.

He is a freaking knucklehead.

I dont think it knocks Carter off their board if he is there.

100% yes to this. Even though we’re still going to make the playoffs, what if 1 or 2 losses kept us from a first round bye?

@Weaselpuppy

That they had 4 players and a bunch of staffers doing this makes me wonder about how much of a handle does Brad and Dan actually have on the culture…but I bet it’ll be a little less buddy/chummy going forward

I think it does take some shine off the narrative/brand, which sucks.

■■■■ yes, to this! Hate it, but it is correct. I put some of this blame on Dan, & you guys know that’s a heavy/committed statement coming from me. I love him & have his back 100%. Also → he gets to clean that shit up.
Also, also (sort of like p.p.s.) → I know he will

@Weaselpuppy

HOW ■■■■■■■ DUMB DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT JUST GO GET A STRAW BETTOR AND HAVE THEM SCREENSHOT THE BETSLIP TO YOU. DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS?

100% . Pal up with an official. They will get that shit done for you!

@Weaselpuppy

and thats what DIPSHITS like Jamo are being taught. You cant control the environment they come from, so just blanket ban it.

Also, ■■■■ You, Jamo.

Yes to all of this as well.

*** The Official We Need to Draft JSN Thread ***

In light of Jamo events, you’re crazy if you don’t think we need a WR in round 1. Let’s go …

Man, I was just out exercising,

You are out exercising?
We are exorcizing!

@Motorcity

jamo bet on college games … no big deal

Wtf he miss 6 games I would say that’s a big deal.
And probably pushes WR up as a need. JSN is sounding a lot better right now.

[wolfcub36]

I made it known that I am not big on JSN , if they draft him…I trust our staff.

[CSanders88]

I suddenly like JSN in the first round a lot more now…

[Humberto]

There it is! Can’t help, but been waiting for this. I mean, not THIS exactly, but anything. It’s been nothing but full positive, happy go lucky new for our Leos. That’s not right.
Now this is back to normal!
We can all use this as the excuse when we’re 5-12 at the end of season. Now we got a built in reason. SOL…

[appeasethefblgods]

our bye is week 7… so he will be back week 8. Its a big deal. We are going to be fighting for the playoffs… losing a potential talented player to start the year could definitly make an impact on our season

[Blizer]

Nate, your promoting that thread like the same 3 gambling ads played on Espn

wait a minute…
