Calvin Ridley’s long-time girlfriend Dominique Michelle is trending on Twitter and here is why. Her trending on Twitter is on the heels of news of Ridley getting suspended for the entire 2022-23 season for illegally gambling on NFL games.
Despite Ridley getting suspended for the entire 2022-23 season, Dominique Michelle says in an Instagram Story that she’s grateful for what she had, what she has, and what is coming.
Awesemo suggests that:
Ridley and his fiancee should find plenty of time to get married over the next year, as Ridley won’t be back on the field for quite some time, possibly never again. At least she’s grateful for what she has coming.
Ridley tells his side of the story.
In a series of tweets Monday after the suspension was announced, Ridley said he bet $1,500 total and that “I don’t have a gambling problem.” He also tweeted that he couldn’t even watch football at the time he made the bets. He added that he’s just going to “be more healthy when I come back” and that “I know I was wrong But I’m getting 1 year lol.”
The NFL determined that Ridley placed multilegged parlay bets involving three, five and eight games that included the Falcons to win via his mobile device out of state, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The NFL learned of Ridley’s betting activity through its relationships within the legal sports betting industry, a source told ESPN’s David Purdum.
“There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL’s success — and to the reputation of everyone associated with our league — than upholding the integrity of the game,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a letter to Ridley notifying him of his suspension. “This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in professional football, and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL.
“For decades, gambling on NFL games has been considered among the most significant violations of league policy warranting the most substantial sanction. In your case, I acknowledge and commend you for your promptly reporting for an interview, and for admitting your actions.”
The NFL said its investigation uncovered no evidence that Ridley used inside information or “that any game was compromised in any way.” There also was no evidence that any of the Falcons’ coaches, staff or players were aware of his betting activity.
