Tennessee House Passes Sports Betting Bill

The Tennessee House voted 58-37 to pass HB 1 which would legalize sports betting, after it barely passed a Tennessee House committee 10-9. During committee discussion, state Rep. Arthur Holt, who is white, questioned state Rep. Rick Staples (l.), who is African American, and referred to gambling as "slavery--slavery to an addiction." The measure passed a Senate committee and moves to the full Senate.
