Hypocrisy was on full display on Friday as the National Football League forced the cancellation of a fantasy sports convention and the National Hockey League’s boss revealed a hugely selective blind spot.

On Friday, word spread that the NFL had pulled the rug out from underneath a fantasy football convention that was scheduled to take place in July at a casino in Las Vegas. The National Football Fantasy Convention (NFFC), a three-day affair fronted by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo along with a number of other NFL players in attendance, was to be held at the Sands Expo, a convention space offshoot of Las Vegas Sands’ Venetian Resort Hotel Casino.

The NFCC released a statement saying they were “postponing” their inaugural event until July 2016 due to “sudden and unexpected opposition taken by the NFL concerning player participation and their perceived association with gambling for an event in Las Vegas.” The NFCC says its 2016 event will now take place in Los Angeles.

An NFL spokesman told Fox Sports that “players and NFL personnel may not participate in the promotional activities or other appearances or in connection with events that are held at or sponsored by casinos.” For the record, Sands Expo contains no gambling facilities.
