    The Spin

    Establishment-critical narrative

    This is unjust and hypocritical. The league has already concluded that no Falcons games were compromised, and much less severe penalties have been given for actual crimes like domestic violence. Riddley is simply being made an example of as the league navigates a newfound gambling culture.

    USA Today

    Pro-establishment narrative

    The Falcons may have hoped to get Ridley back for the 2022 season, but will have to continue without him for another year. Ridley broke the rules and was suspended. No one player is above the rest, and his actions placed the integrity of the game at risk.
