The NFL has officially retracted their opposition to HR 2267, removing a strong opponent to online gambling from the current political game.
According to PokerNews, an NFL representative cites the King-Meeks amendment to HR 2267 as reason for the reversal: “We don’t oppose it since it now includes the language we had hoped for. The amended language adequately addressed our specific concern. We are pleased with the outcome.”
