While everything you mentioned is a larger issue for society, it is the illegal gambling that may cause the league to ban him for life.

Allthough everyone is upset and disgusted about the animal abuse. It is the gambling that will get him banned for life from the NFL.

I understand thats the reason for the suspension...however it has never been alleged he gambled on football, which is the one thing that would allow a lifetime suspension.
Players gamble all the time, whether it be in casinos, at the race tracks... whatever. The whole notion that gambling on dog fights is somewhat more heinous to the NFL as opposed to one of a myriad of players playing black jack is ridiculous. The entire NFL is DRIVEN by gambling, and why it is so popular. Why do they release injury reports every week? Why are point spreads so crucial to deciding who are favorites?
The NFL cannot suspend a guy for life for gambling unless it was on his own sport and a possibility he could affect the outcome of games.
