NFL pressures organizers to cancel convention at casino
A fantasy football-themed event in Las Vegas headlined by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was called off after the NFL reiterated a policy banning appearances associated with casinos. A league spokesman said Saturday the NFL “reminded the players association” of the policy with the National Fantasy Football Convention event scheduled for next month. Romo announced the cancellation on Twitter. Organizers said the cancellation was “a direct result of sudden and unexpected opposition taken by the NFL concerning player participation and their perceived association with gambling for an event in Las Vegas.” – AP
