The statement noted that any person who works for the NFL, in any capacity, cannot place bets on NFL games, as this would seriously undercut the legitimacy of the league in the eyes of the public, jeopardising both the league\u2019s success, as well as the legalised sports betting industry.<\/p>\n<h2>NFL\u2019s Internal Investigation Revealed Shaw\u2019s Betting<\/h2>\n<p>The NFL\u2019s internal investigation revealed that Shaw bet on NFL games multiple times throughout the season but did so without the knowledge of anyone else in his team or the NFL.
