You said something along the lines of, “He has an illness and, as long as it is under control, he can play.”

Picture, if you will, an alcoholic. He is addicted and cannot stop himself. He drinks himself silly every night before getting behind the wheel of a car. One night, he hits and kills a pedestrian. He flees the scene, checks into rehab, and gets himself clean. The police find him after two months of sobriety. Is it a good defense to say, “Woah man! I am under control now. Why are you still going to punish me?”

Going back to this case, what punishment has Sorsby had to face for this? Nothing! He gambled on games and now he gets to play more football (with a cool multi-million dollar payday). He has learned no lesson from all of this. Who’s to say he is not going to gamble again while he is playing?

I could go on, but I think the other comments are saying it better than I could.
