NBA, NCAA, NFL, NHL, and MLB File Lawsuit To Stop Chris Christie Bill
Posted by: Sports Betting ()

The four major sports leagues and the NCAA sought an injunction in federal court Monday against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) to stop sports betting in the state.

Christie signed a bill Friday legalizing sports betting, and Monmouth Park Racetrack has said it plans to begin offering it Sunday. The NBA, NCAA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, which have opposed the state’s previous efforts to legalize sports betting, argued in their complaint the bill is a “flagrant violation of federal law.”

“For years, New Jersey has been attempting to devise a way to get around these unambiguous prohibitions and authorize sports gambling in Atlantic City casinos and horse racetracks throughout the state,” the complaint reads.

Sounds like he's doing something right. Wish the same could be said of his DEM predecessors.
