Chris Christie talks sports betting: The hypocrisy is just so overwhelming
In a segment on HBO’s "Real Sports" that aired Tuesday, Christie said, “The hypocrisy is just so overwhelming, They say because we have the Giants and the Jets and the Devils that somehow we shouldn't be allowed to have gambling here because somehow it will threaten the integrity of the game. Well, you kidding? How isn't it threatening the integrity of the game in Las Vegas for the NHL and the NFL?”
Christie is hoping to green-light sports betting at casinos and horse racing tracks in the state.
“The case was the NCAA, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL and the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball versus Governor Chris Christie. They picked this fight, not me," Christie commented.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear New Jersey’s case on December 4, with a decision expected in the first half of 2018.
“I mean that's why they no longer have moral high ground on this," Christie stated. "They cannot make the integrity of the game argument anymore, Andrea, because they have now gone to the sports gambling capital of America and put two of the four major sports now, having teams in that city. It's over.”
