Browns sever ties with Bernie Kosar after he bets $19,000 on Browns-Steelers game
-
The open gambling world, at some point is going to shake all of pro sports. With Gambling legalized, it's going to corrupt these sports or lead to rampant speculation about games being rigged or being another form of pro wrestling. As Han Solo would say, "I have a bad feeling about this".

Bernie obviously meant a lot for the Browns, but the dude clearly has his vices and shouldn’t be within any official capacity with the organization. We could have a good debate on if this matters, but I don’t have sympathy for the guy either.
with the numerous outlets to talk sports nowadays, dude just needs to continue his podcast and sign autographs at the mall.

very bad move by Kosar. Legalizing sports betting is going to hurt a lot of folks who can't help themselves.

Yup. Lost 19k and his job. Quite sad.

Yep, that's about as two-faced as can be.

Sure is especially in this case with Mr Bernie "Orange & Brown" Cleveland BROWN Kosar. What a two-faced crock indeed. Bernie gave up his body for the NFL and Cleveland BROWNS ..... and this is how he gets paid off. Geeezzz.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
Bernie said on his podcast, that technically he’s an independent contractor not a Browns employee. ?

And Al Lerner used Kosar to gain the ownership bid, dropped him like a hot potato once it was awarded to him.
I do think Kosar has his demons, self- inflicted ones. Still, he did more for CLE football than any suits & ties guys.

Bernie might not be employed directly by the Browns, but in any contractor role under an NFL organization, that means you're banned from legal gambling.
It is what it is.
However I'm positive this isn't a permanent thing. Actually, while it does suck, it's rather wise for the franchise to get ahead of any potential bad publicity. I've little doubt Bernie will be back with the team in some broadcasting capacity at the start of next season.

Bernie was one of the highest paid QB's at one point in his career.
Look, you've gotta know the rules to what you're getting in to. Just like you've gotta know the rules on the field. I like Bernie. He's got a great football mind. But he's his own worst enemy sometimes.

I am chuckling at the part of your answer of "get ahead of any bad publicity". LMAO, our Browns are good at that, eh?
I do agree with your post, though. Kosar did a fucktard thing in betting. I was just looking the inconsistent rules and who gets away with what part of. The league.
I didn't read the story in depth. How TF did they found out he bet?
If that's the case how does Nathan Zegura keep his job?... He built his career on internet gambling....

He broadcasted it live on social media shortly after midnight when sports betting went live in Ohio.
