Right.
I’m sure the WPT’s actual sentiment is the exact opposite of this statement. Anything that reduces interest/activity in poker obviously hurts them. More specifically, the fields for their events will get smaller as a result of fewer internet qualifiers, and the many large advertisers on their programs are the dot.net sites.
But they are publicly-traded US-based company. It would do them no good to come out strongly against recently passed legislation. That would only highlight negative impact of this legislation on their business to Wall Street.
Unlike, say, Daniel Negreanu, who is free to call Frist a ‘douche bag’
