Breaking: Federal court denies New Jersey's bid for legalized sports betting

Per ESPN.

U.S. federal appeals court ruled in favor of the NCAA, NFL and other major sports leagues Tuesday, denying New Jersey's latest bid to bring legalized sports betting to the state's struggling casinos and racetracks.

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia denied New Jersey's appeal by a 2-1 majority decision, ruling that the state's efforts violate the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992.

Last summer, after the U.S. Supreme Court denied to review New Jersey's appeal, the state partially repealed its existing prohibitions on sports betting, but restricted the activity to only racetracks and casinos. Third Circuit judges Maryanne Trump Barry and Marjorie Rendell believed, by restricting sports betting to the tracks and casinos, New Jersey was authorizing sports betting.

JJ u really didn't go out on a limb there. Once Christie decided to run for presidency no one in NJ with any power could push this through.

Leagues have too much money

Nevada pulling strings too

They control politicians and Judges

I might pass 5-10 years from now all over
