NFL Delaware Sports Betting suit has to fail

It would appear that the NFL are intent in continuing down it’s path of a very dubious and completely hypocritical law suit against Delaware’s plan to allow Sports Betting.
They have followed up Fridays filling with an injunction to prevent the law and betting while the case is being heard.

An attorney for Delaware Gov. Jack Markell said the state was intent on moving forward and offering some form of sports betting despite yesterday’s filing.

“After reviewing the latest challenge from the NFL and other sports leagues, it is clear some form of sports betting will go forward in Delaware,” said Michael Barlow, Markell’s legal counsel. “We are now left with the technical legal issue of the type of bets that can be offered.”

Delaware House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf who wrote the legislation to allow Sports Betting in Delaware is right there in the thick of it.

“Apparently,” Schwartzkopf wrote, “the NBA is not as concerned about the integrity of the league when their money is at stake.”

One of the parties to the NFL Law suit is the NBL, The Owners of the Sacramento Kings the Maloof Family have been quoted in USA Today as saying that well-regulated sports gambling would help prevent such problems as game-fixing.

“With all the different casinos in different states that have legalized gaming, why not legalize sports betting?” Maloof said, according to USA Today. “When it’s regulated, it’s safer. There’s no hanky-panky.”

Schwartzkopf said the NFL’s TV contracts with several networks also punch holes in their legal argument because the Web sites of those networks refer to sports gambling or fantasy sports, which is akin to gambling.

The NFL disagreed.

“We are sensitive to interjecting ourselves into Delaware matters but the casino owners there plan to conduct betting on our individual games for their own benefit in violation of federal law,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an e-mail. “Representative Schwartzkopf’s letter refers to our network partners.

As we wrote Governor Markell and others in Delaware earlier this year, our contracts with our network partners include broad prohibitions on the use of any content that refers to betting on the outcome of our games during NFL telecasts on these networks as well as on their pre-game and post-game NFL shows.

We also forbid through these contracts the use of our NFL shield and team marks tied to any betting scheme based on NFL game results during non-NFL programming.

“Our network partners know that we do not condone any NFL point spread references on other programming on the multiple platforms that they operate. But, just as we cannot prevent newspapers or TV and radio stations in Delaware from carrying point spreads or gambling information, we cannot exercise editorial control over those other non-NFL network platforms.”

As previously reported by Calida gaming, the attempt to ban Sports Betting based on grounds that everyone involved will suddenly become corrupt is not only outrageously idiotic, but a serious defamation of character for all those very powerful club owners and Stock market listed Gaming company owners and it will surely case a response from their legal teams if it continues.
