If full truth were to be known, all the leagues would have pushed for sports betting being legal nationwide long long long ago for a peace of the action. I'm not saying that I agree with them.... But keeping it real, these men are billionaires that didn't get where they are in life by giving things away... I think it's to be expected. What is it gamblers say :"greed is good"
NBA & MLB stated they won't allow the states that won't sign up for the integrity tax to be allowed to bet on their sports, lol......they're living in a fantasy world.
The uproar it will cause & it could actually damage their product if they shut out those states & blacked out games as well.
The NFL already screwed up with the kneeling BS last year & lost viewership & fans, these greedy leagues are looking for more money but they will.never receive 1% tax......I could see maybe .25%, but even that's highway robbery on their part.
If they want an integrity tax from every state, Nevada will have to chop in as well......& I don't see that going over well.
I hope PASPA is overturned, the NFL & NHL don't ask for an integrity tax, & flourish under legal sports betting while NBA & MLB lose lots of money for black outs, etc cuz they want tax.
In all likelihood, NFL is sitting back to see what SCOTUS does, & once they legalize betting, they will probably join the NBA & MLB on the ingrety tax......but I can also see a judge making a judgment against the greedy leagues on an integrity tax.....the judge will say the leagues fought tooth & nail for over 25 years against legal betting, & now that its here, they want a cut of the money?
I don't see how a judge sides with the leagues on this integrity tax.....but money talks & judges are bought.

That's the thing Adam Silver doesn't get, the NBA is unwatchable if it isn't for betting.
It an honest question.... The bottom line is A. The supreme court releases their decision on PAPSA. If it's a simple overturn with no more language, then we will see what the states do. New Jersey will have won or lost on a single issue.
Now, I have no idea what or where this will go. But ( as for states making revenue, I truly fell that will be secondary). I want simply to bet and be paid and so do you.... A lot of the rest is window dressing.
