Supreme Court to Hear Appeal of Daily Fantasy Sports Ruling
Every effort has been met with opposition from the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the four major professional sports leagues — Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League — even as some of the leagues have partnered with daily fantasy sports operations.
The Supreme Court will hear an appeal of an August 2016 decision of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, which ruled, 10-2, that sports betting was “clearly and completely legally prohibited” under federal law.
