French regulators want to reduce betting ads
France’s regulator L’Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) says “a line was crossed” in terms of the volume of ads during Euro 2020.
The regulator has issued a warning to betting and gambling companies: “A line was crossed in terms of advertising pressure during this competition, and it is likely to lead to questions about the regulatory model put in place for the next 10 years. It is important to drastically and immediately reduce the advertising pressure in favor of sports betting.” Read more

NFL: Covid-19 outbreaks among unvaccinated players may lead to forfeits
If an NFL game is cancelled due to a Covid-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players, that team will have to forfeit and will be credited with a loss, the NFL said in a leaguewide memo.
“If a game is cancelled/postponed because a club cannot play due to a Covid spike among or resulting from its non-vaccinated players/staff, then the burden of the cancellation or delay will fall on the club experiencing the Covid infection,” the memo states. “We will seek to minimize the burden on the opposing club or clubs. If a club cannot play due to a Covid spike in vaccinated individuals, we will attempt to minimize the competitive and economic burden on both participating teams.” Read more
