Not sure I understand. If you want to do cutting edge defense work you have one option, Uncle Sam (NFL) and Lockheed/Raytheon (Dallas//Tampa/etc)
they can ask if don't know or unsure about anything, doesn't seem hard. seems like all but a handful have managed to figure it out.

Honestly, these rules can change.
Not betting on the game makes sense but setting the SB in Vegas and prohibiting any gambling at all seems inconsistent. The NFL is happy to make money off gamblers and it’s “great for fans”, but clearly players can’t handle gambling

- Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to league personnel reminding them they are not allowed to gamble on sports during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas.
- Super Bowl 58 is expected to be the most bet on Super Bowl ever.
- Team officials are not permitted to bet on sports, and employees of the participating teams cannot even play casino games until the Super Bowl has concluded.

So instead of Casinos they will hang out at strip clubs like Kamara.

NFL players have urges too.
The NFL policies considers NFL players on the road to be at the team facilities at all times. I am sure having sex on the team facilities would violate some morality clause.

It's definitely interesting how NFL policies are strict about player conduct, even when they're on the road. The morality clause is no joke! Speaking of keeping things above board, I’ve been diving into online gaming on Slot77 Online. It’s a great way to have some fun without risking any penalties. Plus, the convenience of playing from home can’t be beat. But yeah, it’s important for players to stick to the rules, both on and off the field.

sex is moral

If it’s legal I don’t see how it could be actionable, so long as the player is on his own time, and not acting in any capacity as an official representative of the team.
“Hi, I’m AOC, and I QB the LV Raiders. Can I get special treatment?” for example, would likely be frowned upon.
But have at it track suit & hoodie, anonymous brothel attendee.
I’m just guessing
Ps - I think Minshew will start, but hard to be anonymous with that epic mustache.
Weed is legal in many areas but players will still get suspended for it. It's actionable.

True, but weed can impact performance.
gambling is legal in many states too, but has implications connected to the game that paying a sex worker for her expertise does not. One could bet on of against one’s own team, for example.
I don’t see how legal prostitution would be in the same category.
ETA: I guess a prostitute could also impact performance. “Women weaken legs”
Also I thought marijuana was removed from testing for NFL Players - or was that shot down?

In many cases people see this as a negative and it's the image of the NFL they are trying to uphold. I would expect they would treat this exactly like weed. It's an image thing.
