There are some good questions to ask about how league partnerships with books encouraging betting in general, but there is nothing hypocritical to me about lifetime-banning someone for doing THIS. This wasn't cool at any point in organized sports history

The guy bet on his own team to LOSE. I see no appropriate response other than a lifetime ban. It just is what it is. No sports league can have that
@alex_kirshner Doesn't the statement say none of the bets where on games Porter played? Either way, the Premier League has it with Ivan Toney.
@alex_kirshner yeah, on the scale of problematic, betting A) on sports in general, B) on your own sport, C) on your own team to win, D) on your own performance (that you'll do well slightly less bad than just sitting, or tanking)... F) on your own team to lose.
@alex_kirshner It’s so bad I wonder how much contact he can have with his brother in the nuggets and how that conversation plays out
