Delaware allows NFL wagering

The NFL is crying crocodile tears regarding Delaware and sports wagering. Very few industries benefit more from gambling than professional football.
Outlawing gambling on football is about as likely to be successful on a public policy basis as outlawing alcohol. Of greater interest here is the possible challenge to the Professional and Amateur Sport Protection Act 1992 (US).
It is high time that the US Supreme Court struck down this ridiculous legislation. No Sovereign State should be prevented from legislating about sports wagering that occurs within its borders. The commerce clause of the United States Constitution, upon which Congress claims the authority to legislate such matters, was never intended to cover activities within a Sovereign State.
American taxpayers fund the salaries of Department of Justice flunkies who couldn’t get a job in the private sector. Sports wagering is a State matter. Is there nothing better for the Washington parasites to do than worry about how American taxpayers spend a Sunday afternoon?
