Pros Cons
PASPA has failed to accomplish its goals
Provide state residents with protection from fraud and theft
Provide tax revenue and cut state budget deficits
Diminishes massive illegal industry
Opposed by professional sports leagues and NCAA
Harms the integrity of sports
Promotes gambling and takes advantage of citizens
Betting on sports can be a form of
entertainment that gives people a reason to watch.
As athletes, people should not be able to bet on anything they are affiliated with.
The sports world is already a major business, legalizing betting will create even more revenue.
