The Canadian Football League will not allow Brendan Sorsby to sign a contract with any of its nine teams, nor can a team claim his exclusive rights.

“Upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount to the CFL,” the league wrote in a statement

They'd probably let him live bet from the sidelines if it meant getting him into the league

I knew a guy who played pro football in Aix en Provence, France. I think he was getting 2K a month but it was almost two decades ago.

Surely the pay is better now

I actually do to some degree. I'm CERTAIN he is not the only player to have bet on football games over the last 3-4 years. Including their own team's games. In fact, there is a former Iowa St. QB who is currently on the Saints roster who was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for gambling.

The backlash is not a result of the "crime". It's a result of the response once he was caught. A response that wasn't totally orchestrated by Sorsby alone. It was Texas Tech and their meddling booster who did that. They, as much as Sorsby did, wanted him to play.

It was Sorsby's group of "adult" advisors who created the BS "addiction" narrative and who decided to upend the one rule that seemingly has unanimous agreement for their OWN self interests. They figured they would just "beat the system", and they did. However, they did not expect the universal backlash to their actions. Now, no professional league is going to give the guy a shot (at least not this year) because they don't want to be the only one that capitulates.

Had Sorsby just accepted his punishment, acknowledged his mistakes, and worked quietly to try to get a shot in the NFL he would have at some point. But his "advisors" have now made him Typhoid Mary because of how they responded.

His football career might just be early. But hey, maybe he can just go ahead and get a job with one of those big gambling companies. He's a perfect fit.

It would be a mistake to try and learn 12 man football for a year anyway

Fantastic. If he had taken his ban like a man, actually sought therapy and been remorseful then I would have a little empathy for him. But it seems like he’s more upset he got caught than anything.

Actions have consequences kid. You don’t get to make a mistake and just expect people to forgive you with no consequences when you apologize
