Chris Christie issued a directive that would allow casinos and racetracks to offer sports wagering as long as it wasn’t state-regulated, an attempt to avoid conflicting with a 1992 federal law. “Defendants’ latest arguments are nothing more than a blatant attempt to circumvent this Court’s injunction and the federal law that it prohibits defendants from violating,” the leagues wrote.
