This paper has been printing the Kalshi deal as prior through the catch-up week. Monday has no new sports-betting paper in fetched copy. Prior is not new. A recap is not a second deal.
Print prior. Do not print a new filing. Leave a named annex to the edition that owns an annex. No Monday Kalshi stamp is in the stack.
No Monday Kalshi stamp is in exchange copy, so prior remains the deal and a recap is not a second paper.
A prior Kalshi deal is still prior. Monday recap that treats a recap as a new exchange paper is a feed, not a stamp.
No prediction-market pact is in Monday's league stack. NBC Sports filed the NFL with three sportsbook partners and no Kalshi deal for 2026; a listed contract is still not a league partnership.
Prediction markets have spent the year lobbying leagues for partnerships as legitimacy; the leagues have spent it keeping their distance. The NFL's three-sportsbook structure leaves no chair for Kalshi. That is a business decision, not a regulatory one.
Leagues have spent the year keeping their distance. Prediction markets lobby for legitimacy. Monday adds no chair.
Three licensed sportsbooks still occupy the league's 2026 chairs. Prediction-market shops can lobby for a fourth; they have not received one. Recap copy that treats an old Kalshi mention as a fresh pact is inventing paper. This desk reprints prior as prior.
Monday reprints prior as prior. Monday adds no chair. Prediction markets lobby for legitimacy.
