Sports Betting CEO Accepts Job as Soccer Chief
Ralph Topping, the CEO of sports betting
operator William Hill, took on a second job as
chairman of soccer's Scottish Premier League.
In a move that illustrates how nonsensical NFL
arguments against gambling are, Ralph Topping, the
CEO of bookmaker William Hill, was offered and
accepted a concurrent post as chairman of the
Scottish Premier League, the nation's top soccer
organization. The head of the sports betting
operator was named to the post without a worry
expressed about potential loss of league match
integrity.

Sports Betting CEO Accepts Job as Soccer Chief
Ralph Topping, the CEO of sports betting

chairman of soccer's Scottish Premier League.
In a move that illustrates how nonsensical NFL
arguments against gambling are, Ralph Topping, the
CEO of bookmaker William Hill, was offered and
accepted a concurrent post as chairman of the
Scottish Premier League, the nation's top soccer
organization. The head of the sports betting

The NFL has successfully denied
US citizens the right to play at sports gambling
by insisting that permitting such, outside of
Nevada, would irrevocably harm the public
perception of the football league and its games.
Nevada is treated as a magical land by NFL
spokesmen, the invisible place which somehow
operates without corrupting influence, while all
other attempts to legalize sports betting are met
with shudders.
Meanwhile, the realistic
European attitude openly recognizes the symbiotic
relationship between gambling and sports, one the
NFL says doesn't exist while they provide daily
injury updates to the players feeding hundreds of
billions to illegal sports books. The European
sports leagues see no conflict even with the head
of its top sports betting group also running a top
soccer league.
"It is reassuring to know
that, with the recent appointment of Neil
Doncaster as chief executive and the appointment
today of Ralph Topping as chairman, the SPL will
be in good hands," said outgoing chairman Lex
Gould.
"I am very excited to be joining the
SPL in a role that marries three of my greatest
passions: business, Scotland and football," said
Topping.
