NHL Statement on Today’s Decision by the U.S. Supreme Court

The National Hockey League released the following statement regarding today’s Supreme Court decision:

“The Supreme Court’s decision today paves the way to an entirely different landscape – one in which we have not previously operated. We will review our current practices and policies and decide whether adjustments are needed, and if so, what those adjustments will look like. It’s important to emphasize that the Supreme Court’s decision has no immediate impact on existing League rules relating to sports wagering, and particularly, wagering involving NHL games. So, while changes may be considered in the future, today’s decision does not directly impact the operation of the League or any of our Clubs in the short term.”

NBA COMMISSIONER ADAM SILVER’S STATEMENT REGARDING SUPREME COURT’S DECISION TO OVERTURN PASPA

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn PASPA:

“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court opens the door for states to pass laws legalizing sports betting.  We remain in favor of a federal framework that would provide a uniform approach to sports gambling in states that choose to permit it, but we will remain active in ongoing discussions with state legislatures.  Regardless of the particulars of any future sports betting law, the integrity of our game remains our highest priority.”
