New Jersey Sports Betting fails their sport betting legalization bid

New Jersey Sports Betting fails their sport betting legalization bid

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 25th 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.

NBA Spend a whopping $1 Billion on free agency on the first day

NBA Spend a whopping $1 Billion on free agency on the first day

The National basketball Association team spent more than $1 billion on the first day of the free agency which was on Wednesday 1st July.

A host of contracts were handed out to the free agents. Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert led the way on this first day. By the time it was 7 pm, the NBA had committed to more than $1.1 billion for players who hit the open market. This amount does not amount for the $145 million given to Anthony Davis for the five year contract with New Orleans.

Among the biggest contracts was that of Kevin Love amounting to $110 million for him to stay in Cleveland Cavaliers for another 5 years. To some extent, it felt like the Loa Angeles Lakers and Love had been meant for each other, after he opted out from Cavs’ contract.

Earlier on, Love sent a comment through the Player Tribune site citing that there were rumours of the free agency but he believed Cavs was his place after meeting with his teammates and that he had unfinished business and it was time for him to go back t work.

Contract to Anthony Davis seems to be the biggest. His new deal of $145 million broke Kobi Bryant’s deal of $136 million in 2004. On a year basis, Michael Jordan’s $33 million single season deal in 1998 still holds the record. Davis deal stands at about $29 million a year.

It looks as if the NBA teams are not yet done in their spending as LaMarcus Aldridge is still on his rounds making meetings with potential suitors. He kicked out the LA Lakers and New York Knicks citing that he was not impressed by their presentation on Tuesday night. In addition, he pointed out that Dwayne Wade was not decided on whether he was to return to Miami Heat.
