The Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, and New York Jets all signed on to a letter from the NFL that expressed concerns over the future of sports betting in New York, despite the fact that the Giants and Jets actually play in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

NFL Outlines Core Principles for Sports Betting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only that, but those two teams play out of MetLife Stadium, an arena that\u2019s part of the same Meadowlands Sports Complex that houses the FanDuel Sportsbook \u2013 the most successful sportsbook in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

That said, the letter was primarily written from the perspective of the NFL itself, though executives from all three teams \u2013 each of which, of course, does have a sizable fan base in New York \u2013 signed on to the submission as well. The letter was submitted to the New York State Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no greater priority for the NFL than protecting the integrity of our sport and the welfare of our players,\u201d the letter reads. \u201cFans, players, coaches and personnel deserve to know that we are doing everything possible to ensure no improper influences affect how our games are played and that we are taking all appropriate steps to ensure that their participation in our games is not subjected to unfair and unwarranted allegations relating to sports betting.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The letter outlines \u201cfour core standards\u201d that the NFL would like to see in any New York sports betting bill. Some of those are unlikely to cause controversy: everyone is on board with legalizing sports betting including strong consumer protections, for instance, and it makes sense that \u201celiminating the illegal sports betting marketplace\u201d would be a part of setting up a new, regulated environment.<\/p>\n

The other two standards, however, are more about protecting the league\u2019s interests. The letter asks for the \u201cprotection of our content and intellectual property,\u201d and also asks for the use of official league data<\/a> \u2013 a common talking point from sports leagues when lobbying for changes to legislation across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn essential component of consumer protection is a requirement that the information used to settle these wagers is correct and timely, something that can only come from official data provided by the sports leagues themselves,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n

New York Sports Betting Bill Advances <\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Monday, the New York Senate Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee advanced a sports betting bill unanimously<\/a>, meaning it will next be taken up by the Senate Finance Committee.<\/p>\n

\n

However, that vote didn\u2019t come without reservations, with some committee members wondering why the horse racing industry wasn\u2019t included in the expansion of New York sports betting.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTo say that you can help them later, I\u2019m just not sure how because what share is left for them at that point when everything is up and running,\u201d said state senator Daphne Jordan (R-43rd District). \u201cWhat I\u2019d really like to see is a plan to include those other entities and not three years from now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
