It is only the MLB that has allowed players to use wearable whoops. However, NBA has since banned the use of the attire and this has proven costly to one NBA player.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mathew Dellavedova is one player who has been using the wearable Whoop in the previous 15 games. This reached the NBA which prompted not to give him a heavy penalty but he would be subjected to a ban of strapping them on. This follows the NBA’s strict rules that have been in existence in prohibiting its players in wearing tech.

Nonetheless, the new policy of the wearable tech has no any correlation to the unique data from the Jawbone or the Fitbit. Basically, thee Whoop is meant for outstanding athletes. More often than not, the tech is designed to perform actionable information in the present times which may be in relation to one’s stress condition or the heart rate. It also serves the purpose of protecting a player from injuries as well as the preparedness a player may be in after a travel schedule.

Wearables have become popular in the NBA as they help a player in training sessions. For instance, the Golden State Warriors have made use of Catapult Sports devices in trainings whereas the Miami Heat partnered with Vert makers in provision of these wearables crucial for monitoring key elements such as jump load and jump counts.

However, the debate on use of wearables both in games and training sessions will continue in the NBA. Many have claimed to avoid them arguing that they can reciprocate a negative effects that can be evidence at the court. For instance, body contact during a basketball game is common and a player in the process of trying to stop another from making a dunk may get it rough when caught unawares by the Whoop in sensitive body parts such as the eye.

New Jersey has been hit by yet another setback on legalizing sport betting in the state after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals panel dispelled their appeal. It was on the 25^th day of August when representatives of the State were faced with a dilemma which has been onto them for four years now after a jury of three judges of the U.S Third Circuit Court of Appeal dispelled their bid to allow sports betting in both casinos and racetracks.

This is a huge blow to the State which has no any other option of appealing the case but would rather engage the “en Banc” review which stipulates that the case would be tabled across a panel of 23 judges unlike previous cases where only 3 judges took part.

The main antagonizing issue calls for a clear check up on the plan of New Jersey in adding sports betting to casinos and racetracks and if it would go against the 1992 federal ban on sports betting that was referred to as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

New Jersey claims that its attempt to incorporate sports betting was to revive the demising horse racing industry as well as Atlantic casinos that are besieged. The passing of the law four years ago prompted the NHL, MLB, NBA, NFL and NCAA moving to the caught to sue the State as they claimed that the integrity of these sports would be disrupted through match fixing and corruption and moreover this would go against the 1992 Act. The court has since then made verdicts siding with the leagues.

If the State is not accorded with the “en banc” review, it can move further up to the Supreme caught but faces a wrath after their previous attempt in 2013 failed provided the Supreme Court of the U.S only allows 1% of the petitions. They may also antechamber the Congress in changing the federal ban but this may take years.

Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) the man behind the pushing of legalization of Sports betting in the state claimed that their only left option is the Third Circuit. He hopes that this may go through as he advocated for the passing of Sports betting legalization to the State four years ago.

The appeal tabled at the Federal appeal court by the US pro sports betting advocates have hit a hard rock as the jury decided not to the uplifting of the sports betting to be held in New Jersey. Us pro advocates rushed to the Third Court of Appeals in Philadelphia with the aim of having a ruling in their favour but were shocked as the court ruling was backed by 2-1 and in turn giving no chance to the State in trying to circumvent the 1992 Professional & Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

This appeal by the New Jersey State has been in progress for nearly a year now. And down the line, the state has faced yet another hit in attempt to give a comprehensive continuity of sport betting in USA. It was the decision of Third Court Judges Marjorie Rendell and Maryanne Trump Barry who made their verdict in favour of US Pro League members and hence giving legalization of sports betting in New Jersey a huge blow.

According to the US Pro League representatives from various leagues such as NFL, MLB and NHL, the verdict undertaken by the Third Court was crucial inthe upholding of the honesty portrayed by various sporting games in the USA.

However, all was not done as the Democratic Senator of New Jersey Ray Lesniak claimed that the representatives of this state will not give up and will continue waging the fight for what they think is their right of eradicating the PASPA verdicts.

Commenting on the issue to US news sources, the senator claimed that there will be three games for the NFL to be staged in Wembley Stadium in London where their fans will bet and watch the games. He claimed that their main agenda would be controlling as well as running betting via fantasy sports.

The president of the American Gaming association Geoff Freeman claimed that he would support Lesniak by claiming that they deserve to take full control of betting as the law is not keen with regulation of illegal betting with current statistics indicating that there are over $140 billion indulged in illegal betting.

From here, New Jersey will head for another appeal at the full court.

With fantasy sports betting legalization still an ongoing battle, the NFL has claimed that it is on the verge of expanding and this may entail initiation of a team based in Las Vegas. This comes after New Jersey appealed a case where NF, NBA, MLB, NCAA and NHL had moved to the court in 2012 to block a move by the state in legalizing sports betting. They opposed this since they claimed that match fixing especially on single betting would be frequent and hence tarnishing the fame of the game. According to Brian McCarthy the league spokesman, they were not backing of from blocking the move ever.

However, their move was faced by various problems as some representatives of various teams had other plans. Robert Kraft the owner of New England team joined hands with Steve Wynn Las Vegas casino developer in building a casino believed to be worth $1 billion next to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough back in 2011.

NFL had earlier banned the advert banners in the stadium as a way to deter any casino initiation move. However, it claimed that it would allow advertising money from casinos. The league claimed that this would be accompanied by several rules such that no logos or club marks are present on the advert and that players would receive divides from the income generated from these adverts.

There has been however partnership between fantasy firms DraftKings and FanDuel with 21 league teams, Steelers included. NFL commissioner Roger Goodwell described this as family reunion and said that fantasy sees people come together for fun as they enjoy football. McCarthy echoed these words by saying that generally fantasy football is a non gambling event that entails skills of the game.

Nevertheless, despite all this, NFL was on the front line in cancelling fantasy football conference that was scheduled for 10-12 July at the non-gambling Las Vegas site the Sands Expo. The expected in attendance included Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

The league was later involved in cautioning three Miami Dolphins players from indulging in poker events in Coconut Creek casino, Fla. This attracted criticism from events’ host Andy Slter who claimed that NFL was based on gambling.
