About LinkBacksIn a surprising about face, the National Football League, one of the loudest critics of online gambling legislation in the U.S., now says it doesn't oppose legalizing the practice.
An amendment added by Rep. Peter King (R-NY) to the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act prohibits licensed companies from offering sports betting.
From PokerNews:
"We don't oppose it since it now includes the language we had hoped for," wrote Brian McCarthy, a vice president of communications for the NFL, in an e-mail exchange. "The amended language adequately addressed our specific concern. We are pleased with the outcome."

Haven't read the HR2267 amendments
Does anyone know if they prohibit all sports betting, or just lines on certain/all US based sports?
