Booger McFarland isn’t afraid to be in the spotlight.

After becoming a star defensive tackle at LSU, McFarland was a first-round draft pick and won two Super Bowls in the NFL. Now, McFarland is an analyst with the SEC Network, and he’s become quite comfortable expressing his opinion.

On Monday, NFL owners voted 31-1 in favor of allowing the Raiders to move their franchise from Oakland to Las Vegas. Outside of severing the historic ties the franchise had with its home in California, the Raiders’ move to America’s gambling epicenter has some worried about the impact it could have on the league’s morality.

While it’s easy to believe that the ease of access to casinos and gambling temptation might create problems for an NFL franchise in Las Vegas, McFarland sees things in a very different light.

McFarland correctly states the vicinity some teams have to casinos, particularly Harrah’s in New Orleans and those in Atlantic City. Having the ability to gamble in a team’s backyard may create some problems, but the Raiders are probably aware of just how closely they will be watched because of this issue.

Besides, these are NFL players. If they want to fly to Las Vegas on their bye week or gamble in another form, they can find a way to do so. As McFarland insinuates, just because something could possibly become a problem, that doesn’t mean it’s going to send a franchise off the rails.
