NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants the United States Congress to enact uniform standards for individual states who want to create legislation that will allow sports betting.
Last week, the United States Supreme Court agreed to allow New Jersey's bid for sports betting at its casinos and racetracks, allowing other states to do the same.
Before the court said that Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), which forbids state-authorized sports gambling was unconstitutional, Nevada was the only state to allow single-game wagering.
The Supreme Court basically left it to the states to come up with their own laws for legalizing betting.
