Casino Giant Sues Clinton Portis Over $10,000 Gambling DebtFormer NFL Running Back Has Owed Money Since 2011, MGM Claims |
|
Former NFL running back Clinton Portis is facing a lawsuit from Nevada casino giant MGM over a $10,000 gambling debt, thelegalblitz.com reported.
MGM wants the $10,000, plus another $1,000 in damages and attorney fees.
The casino operator had more than $9.8 billion in revenue in 2013.
Courthouse News Service reported that MGM is claiming Portis received two “negotiable credit instruments known as markers,” worth [roughly] $10,000, on Jan. 31, 2011. MGM said it sent a request by mail on Mar. 26, 2011 to collect on its debt, but Portis still hasn’t paid since then.
The issue is now with the Clark County court system.
Though a lot of former players who get exploited by the National Football League, which brings in billions and billions a year in revenue, end up facing financial problems in retirement, there is arguably no evidence that Portis is currently one of them.
A year ago, when Portis joined a class-action lawsuit against the NFL over concussions, he said that he wasn’t doing it because he needed the money.
“This is not about money for me I’m doing just fine!" he wrote on his Twitter.
So, maybe he just forgot about the $10,000 debt to MGM.
