Online Gambling Foes Create Excuses to Explain Opposition The NFL and religious groups continue to use debunked arguments to oppose regulated online gambling.

The powerful lobbyists resisting the regulation and licensing of online gambling operators continue to use debunked and illogical talking points to argue their cause. Evangelical religious groups and sports organizations led by the National Football League prepared for the upcoming battle over Barney Frank's bill regulating Internet gambling by citing arguments that are tired, have been disproved, and display a stunning disregard for reality.
The NFL has long taken the position that legal sports betting anywhere other than the magical free zone that is Nevada would corrupt game results. Somehow, the league says that the Frank bill, which excludes sports wagering only as an admission of the NFL's Congressional might, would still threaten its integrity.
"If this (online gambling) were, in fact, legalized, fan interest could be less focused on the outcome of the game than on whether the point spread is covered," says Jeff Miller, the NFL's full-time lobbyist. Miller doesn't explain the league's embracing fantasy football, which certainly shifts fan interest from game results to individual performance.
"It (online gambling) is probably the most dangerous, most invasive form of gambling ever developed," says Chad Hills of Focus on the Family, a fundamentalist religious group. Hills ignores extensive scientific evidence, provided by such notable sources as Harvard Medical School, that online gambling is in fact perhaps the least dangerous, mildest form of gambling, sticking to his debunked belief just as his fellows reject evolution, the moon landings, and the idea of a round Earth.
The NFL does not care to discuss the hundreds of billions already involved in illegal sports betting, or its own unending, amoral hunger for new profits. Neither does Focus on the Family want to debate its forming a power base by inciting vulnerable religious persons to backing un-American restrictions on freedom. Each would rather continue to spout nonsense about online gambling, hoping repetition and volume make up for lack of reason.
