probably it was a simple catalyst to the whole situation
on the other hand, I watch CNN a lot and they have not made a single mention of this gambling bill when talking about the port bill, its not 'big' news at all to most of the public which is the reason why they get away with it

Not necesarily, mainstreaming sportsbetting is probably what will save it in the future.
