Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) issued the following statement on the announcement of the relocation of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas, following a 31-1 vote by National Football League (NFL) owners to sanction the move:
“Today, the NFL owners almost unanimously voted to approve the Raiders organization move to Las Vegas. This move is a clear sign that the league owners’ attitudes toward sports betting has changed. I hope that following today’s vote, I can count on the support of the NFL and the NFL team owners for my efforts to legalize and regulate sports betting."
