Community pulse: Gambling good for the NFL to a point

It’s certainly a big part of the game for better or worse

Our Tuesday Community Question this week swayed some away from our normal topics surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders.

We went to the general NFL route, asking if gambling is good for the NFL.

It’s a big topic and it’s clear that whether the NFL likes it or not, gambling is a big part of the attraction for fans. Whether its Vegas-style betting, fantasy football or just friendly wagers and pools, there is a huge gambling element to professional football.

Yes, the league itself has embraced it. I mean, the Raiders wouldn’t be playing at Allegiant Stadium (a stone’s throw for the Vegas strip) if the NFL was comfortable with gambling.

It seems readers get that.
