Default RE:New Jersey News - Gambling executives push sports betting

"In short, legalized sports gambling would tarnish the image of the game," said Jon Moyer, special counsel to the National Football League. "Public confidence is the cornerstone of our game."

How is allowing sports wagering in NJ (or any other state for that matter) going to tarnish the "image of the game" any further than what already exists now, with legal betting allowed in Vegas already? With statements such as this, you can see why the NFL has been known as the "No Fun League" for some time. There arguments against legalized gambling are irrational.
