Re: Unlawful internet....bill due to NFL

The NFL don't want to see the money going to online casino and poker. They would rather see it going into the NFL fantasy gambling lotto.

They also don't want a gambling scandal to happen. Fantasy was protected because people can gamble on it, but don't care about the outcome of games.

Re: Unlawful internet....bill due to NFL

The NFL also refused to show ads for the NBC show Las Vegas which aired Monday nights up until last year. NBC wanted to show lots of ads Sunday for the Monday show and the NFL wouldn't allow it.

The NFL put a clause in the contract with NBC that forbids the mention of Las
Vegas.

Quote from an article a while back -
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told USA TODAY at that time: "Las Vegas is synonymous to the public with sports betting. Public perception of the integrity of our game is critical, and this could negatively impact that perception."

NBC moved the show to Friday nights so they could better advertise it.

F the NFL and F Frist

Re: Unlawful internet....bill due to NFL

Incredible! So it was basically a play for power by the NFL and they took out a number of online poker titans in the process. amazing!

then the jokers in washington spin it into a religious & homeland security (port authority) issue.... what a bunch of worthless slugs.
