    Cowboys make history, partner with casino

Mandatory Credit: Jeremiah Jhass/Handout Photo via USA TODAY NETWORK The Dallas Cowboys became the first NFL team to have an official casino designation, announcing a partnership with WinStar World Casino and Resort on Thursday.
    "The Dallas Cowboys take great pride in aligning themselves with the best brands in the world," owner Jerry Jones said. "It is a privilege to stand shoulder to shoulder as partners with such a prominent entertainment brand like WinStar World Casino."
    WinStar is located in Oklahoma, where sports betting remains illegal, but the NFL has relaxed its rules against gambling associations and content this offseason. Teams may now accept advertising money from casinos, although direct relationships with sportsbooks are not permitted.
    "We are excited about the future of gaming as it relates to the NFL," Jones said.
    In May, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on state-sponsored sports betting in a landmark decision, and many states are expected to follow New Jersey's lead in legalizing such activities in the future.
    Politicians are pushing efforts to introduce a framework to guide the industry at a federal level, including Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who released a memo last week to outline several suggestions promoting integrity. The NFL and NCAA released a joint statement, after MLB, the PGA Tour and NBA issued their own joint statement, in favor of Schumer's suggestions.

    Just the beginning.

    But not surprised Jerry Jones is the first to make the move since he's the most open-minded of all owners.

    This'll be great until the Cowboys go for a field goal in the final seconds while giving 4-1/2.
