The National Football League (NFL) has long opposed allowing sports betting to gain more of a foothold in the United States than it already has. But surprisingly, the NFL has made arguments over the last 12 years that any sports bettor would find encouraging: namely, that betting on sports is an enterprise that takes skill. According to a report from ESPN, both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the NFL have made statements during legal proceedings that say that sports betting is a skill-based activity. NFL outside counsel made that argument in 2003, while in 2013, then US Attorney Loretta…
