To clarify, in ALL major sports, athletes can visit “legally-operated casinos and horse or dog racing tracks” and bet money on the action. Jordan, like most athletes are often seen at casinos. Hell, most gambling by NBA players are on the team plane and in the hotel lobby where they love to play cards. I was in San Antonio a few years ago and I saw several Nugget players playing Tonk with stacks of 20's. The very next night the Knicks was in town and a few guys was in the same spot playing the same game.
I still think it's bullshit Pete Rose is not in the Hall of Fame. And yes, I've played blackjack with him on dozens of occasions. Cool guy. Very entertaining to shoot the shit with. Did he bet on baseball? Hell yes. Did he bet on his team? Yes. Did he bet against his team? Hell fukkin no!
