re: Canadian Football League Also Bans Sorsby

I wonder if he and his handlers had said: The guy fricked up and he legitimately is getting help for a gambling addiction....would a different attitude have helped him with the pros and CFL?
Instead, they went scorched earth on teams, mascots, etc.

How bad does Texas Tech look right now? Literally everyone outside of them, including the rest of the ncaa, has agreed on blackballing the guy

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.
That's how I feel. I think the pearl-clutching over this has been laughable considering the money being thrown at these players now, and the gambling culture that has been fomented.
Betting lines run constantly during games. Betting apps are advertised constantly on TV. Hell, Gameday does their Superdog segment weekly. But everybody feigns shock and awe about how this could happen.
Texas Tech, Sorsby, and his advisors handled this beyond poorly, but there seems to be a bloodthirsty effort to kill Sorsby's career before it starts, just because of the way it was handled.
The Lions had that WR a couple of years ago who was placing bets from the team facility. He got released, but went to Canada and is still playing for the BC Lions today, so the CFL "upholding the integrity of the league" is a joke.

What’s stopping him from entering the 2027 NFL draft?

The NFL has suspended players for violating the league's gambling policies. But, and I think you are alluding to this, is those guys all were given penalties and served them.
Sorsby's crew essentially said, "Nah. We aren't going to serve the penalty nor accept responsibility (because it was an "uncontrollable medical condition"). We are just going to get a judge to allow him to play and not give a damn about the penalty."
THAT is what got everyone up in arms because if Sorsby was allowed to play then that would essentially signal to fans that players can bet on their team's games without ANY repercussions...contrary to the NFL where there are repercussions. The pro leagues, by not being willing to accommodate Sorsby's efforts to play, are trying to send a message that their are still penalties for gambling on your games. Something the judge in Texas said didn't exist by

The same logic is used to justify teens tearing shite up and having takeovers. “Well what do you expect?! They see it on TikTok and they have nothing else to do!”

Sorsby and his dipshit handlers thought he could just say “my bad. I’ll work on it” and people would just be ok with him continuing to play.

So he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling boosters?

Its not shock and awe, its pretty simple. They absolutely cannot have players who participate in the competition bet on the games.
A lions player opening a betting app in a team facility, not even betting on football is not anywhere close to Sorsby betting on his own team AND betting upwards of $90k in college. He even fricking had player prop bets on his own team, used other peoples accounts, etc.

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
How old is Sorsby??
Is he not an adult?
Stop making excuses for him

Agreed on everything you said, but to add to is……its not helping his case either that his lawyer is threatening to sue the NFL because they declined to hold a supplemental draft for him.
Zero self awareness on how much more damage they’re doing to his reputation and chances of being able to maybe apply for the draft next year because his team refuses to let him face the consequences for a season.

Yep. Texas Tech did him no favors. Neither did the judge that reinstated him. In hindsight I bet he wishes he would have lost the case for reinstatement. The outcry would have never been so high.

Maybe the Arena Football League will give him a shot.

Can he sue the Texas judge for harming his potential future earnings? Then the circle will be complete.

He knew the rules and broke them. It wasn’t an accident or mistake.

Sorsby got 5 million from Texh he got to keep. I think he is just fine
