A Nevada lawmaker chastised the NFL for a “disappointing” response to her letter asking about efforts to ensure the integrity of games amid a series of sports betting violations involving players.
U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., wrote June 15 to the leadership of the major professional sports leagues and the NCAA, asking them to clarify their betting policies and saying “more needs to be done to ensure that sports remain free from outside influence.”
The NFL offered a detailed response but did not address specific questions about league personnel and investigations into betting violations. The NFL’s response also urged federal officials to address the “illicit sports betting market,” though the reported violations involving players happened at regulated sportsbooks.
