So somebody is spreading falsehoods across the national airwaves........they should be sued and/or held accountable in some form or fashion.

I heard it too this am............

Something about offshore wagering being prohibited by US ..... ,yady , yady, ya ......

Since they allow advertisers on who either promote gambling and/or offshore wagering they may feel they are covering their asses to an extent with this "public service message"......:howdy:

This was part of the settlement Sporting News did with the Missouri branch of the DOJ. They agreed to spend $1 mil a year for 3 years to produce and air public service announcements to "educate" the public that sports betting done on the phone or online is illegal. They won't run sports book ads either any more, at least in the content they control.
