Probably has something to do with the history and ties to gambling that the Rooney family has always had.

Ridiculous how all these years the league continues to allow this thug of an organization to get away with everything. Rules are bent for them or just not called the same way. They preach safety yet calls go uncalled against their players until horrible injuries occur. Yet officiating defends the other calls and rules are created year after year after the fact. Yet another team dished them physical play and they cried about it. Our best defender got taken away and wouldn't you know it they scheduled a game in their house during the period he was suspended. It's sickening and I'm so happy my son's hockey practice is the same time every Sunday so I have a release from this cursed sorry ass fake football league.
