NJ Governor Responds to NBA Chief’s Stance on US Sports Betting
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has responded to NBA chief Adam Silver's call for change in US sports betting regulations. Silver spoke of a joint legalization initiative in Congress while the NBA is involved in combined sports league litigation to put a stop to New Jersey's drive for expanded sports betting. ”I think it's kind of crazy for the commissioner of the NBA to say, on one hand, 'Join me governor, let's have legalized sports gaming everywhere. But not in New Jersey right now,”' Christie said. ”What I call it, quite frankly, is a bait and switch.” ”If Adam Silver believes that sports gaming is OK then allow sports gaming in New Jersey; allow us to be the model.”
