The Morning Consult poll queried 45,165 NFL fans over a two-week span at the end of 2016 and the results were released following last week’s NFL owners’ meeting in Phoenix.
The poll is centered around three main points, including whether fans support overturning the federal PASPA sports betting prohibition and letting individual states decide for themselves whether to permit legal betting within their borders.
Fans were also asked whether legal betting with "reputable” US firms would make betting on sports safer then with internationally licensed sportsbooks.
The AGA adopted a more activist stance toward legalizing sports betting in 2015 and recently filed an amicus brief supporting New Jersey’s long-running quest for the right to permit legal wagering within its borders.
Shortly, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters that, for the moment, the league didn’t plan to invoke its right to force Nevada sportsbooks to refrain from taking action on Oakland games. Goodell claimed this action wouldn’t be necessary due to "the regulatory environment there, which actually could be beneficial in this case.”
