Calvin Ridley Suspended For The 2022 Season


 The NFL has announced the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been suspended for the 2022 season for betting on games. 

The league says Ridley bet on games during the 2021 season. It was discovered that Calvin's gambling activity took place in November 2021 while he was away from the team with a non-football injury. 

Roger Godell released an official statement on Calvin Ridley's suspension. 

"There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL’s success and to the reputation of everyone associated with our league than upholding the integrity of the game. This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in professional football and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL" - Roger Godell, NFL Commissioner

Calvin Ridley responded to being suspended on Twitter.
