Evander Kane Case Shows Urgent Need To Change Sports Betting Rules For Athletes
While the NHL investigates the gambling allegations against San Jose Sharks winger Evander Kane, now would probably be a good time for the league — actually, all leagues — to investigate their own gambling policies and to take a gander at how they handle the matter of betting on sports amongst their players, coaches, and personnel.
In very broad strokes, the NHL, MLB, NBA, PGA, and NFL all have pretty much the same policy: Don’t bet on your own sport, don’t bet with an illegal bookmaker, and don’t you dare bet on or against your team or give out actionable information.
