PHILADELPHIA (AP) - August 24, 2009 -- A federal appeals court in Philadelphia will decide whether sports betting in Delaware should be put on hold until a legal challenge by professional sports leagues and the NCAA is decided.
The court will hear arguments Monday over a judge's denial of an injunction that would have stopped betting from beginning next month.
Attorneys for Delaware say the leagues have not met the requirements for an injunction. A trial on whether the betting would violate federal law or the state constitution is to begin in December.

This is such a joke. Can you imagine sports leagues worrying about anything but themselves? The NFL trying to get an injunction againts gambling is about the funniest thing I have ever heard. If it was not for gambling, the NFL would be a minor league sport.
The NFL supports wagering on contests, as long as though contests are dogs fighting each other to the death (or otherwise being killed after they fight, just for the fun of it).
