I am pretty sure this isn't just NFL policy. In California, you are not allowed to drink alcohol for a year or two after a DUI (I think its for as long as you're enrolled in the court ordered DUI program). Most people don't get tested though.

You can short a uranium ETF (URA, NLR) or a uranium miner (CCJ, DNN, URRE). I believe CCJ is the biggest uranium miner in the world.
I do not think a short Uranium ETF exists and I don't know how to actually short a stock.
