The NFL is the latest sports league to turn to the U.S. Congress to help deal with one of its thorniest issues.

In a similar approach to the NCAA’s ongoing appeal for assistance with NIL issues, the NFL used an inquiry into its internal gambling policy to push for federal intervention.

“We believe that additional attention and resources are needed from lawmakers and law enforcement to address the illicit sports betting market, which still has the power of incumbency,” wrote Jonathan Nabavi, NFL vice president of public policy and government affairs.
