NFL scandal: players illegally resold tickets

The NFL is about to strike hard. According to several sources, the league led by Roger Goodell intends to sanction at least a hundred players for illegally reselling their tickets to the most recent Super Bowl at a price higher than their face value.

This is in direct contravention of the league's internal rules.

Each year, players receive a quota of discounted or free tickets to the big game, a privilege reserved for league members.

However, some took advantage of this privileged access to pocket profits by reselling tickets on the secondary market at inflated prices – a practice likened to scalping, strictly forbidden by the NFL.

Sanctions could go far beyond a simple fine. The league is also reportedly considering suspensions for the most egregious offenders, in what is shaping up to be one of the most far-reaching disciplinary scandals of the Goodell era.

The move is aimed at preserving the integrity of the Super Bowl ticket distribution process, often criticized for its opacity. By acting firmly, the NFL is sending a clear message: player benefits must not be diverted for personal gain.

While internal investigations continue, the league is expected to formalize the first sanctions in the coming weeks. An issue to be followed very closely.
