Just four years ago in his testimony in the New Jersey betting case, commissioner Bud Selig said that gambling on a sport was "Evil, creates doubt and destroys your sport," and that MLB will "never have a franchise in Las Vegas."

Rob Manfred seems to have other ideas concerning gambling and the Las Vegas market. Manfred has expressed an open mind on both topics on several occasions, including earlier this month. "We are re-examining our stance on gambling," said Manfred at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit in New York City.

I think if the NHL can make a franchise even semi-viable, then the other 3 major leagues will have a team in Vegas within 10 years, there is just too much money to pass up.

The other 3 leagues are smart though and letting the NHL take the risk

Isn't it time to get over the black sox scandal MLB? It's been 98 years I don't think you've gotta worry about gangsters fixing the game anymore and paying the players more than the owners

If this happens, then there is no reason to keep Rose out of the HOF. Bud Selig and Fay Vincent can both piss up a rope and GFT.
