Steve Trevelise, New Jersey 101.5
I’ve always said that if New Jersey wants to make easy money, we should legalize marijuana, prostitution, and sports betting. We may get (as Meatloaf would say) “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.” It’s looking more and more like we’re getting marijuana, prostitution we’ll save for another day. The New Jersey powers that be, including Governor Christie, Senate President Steve Sweeney, and others, are in Washington as the Supreme Court hears arguments in a battle that’s been going on for the past five years.
The argument presented by some sports leagues that it would hurt their game doesn’t make any sense since four states already allow sports betting and none of those leagues are suffering. What those leagues should do is embrace sports betting. Imagine NFL themed casinos, that would be fantasy football! They’ve already got their logos on lottery tickets. Imagine the prop bets? You can even bet on who will take a knee for the National Anthem!
