The State of Ohio - Art Schlichter, Gambler
 
 
Among those who are speaking out on Issue 3 is a man who is well known as a gambler. But Art Schlichter's story isn't a tale of luck and good fortune. The former OSU football star shattered school records and was picked fourth in the NFL draft in 1982, but says gambling derailed his pro football career, landed him in prison for 10 years, cost him his marriage and more than a million dollars and nearly ruined his life. He's never opposed a gambling proposal before, but this time is campaigning against Issue 3.
