David Stern has been known as a staunch opponent of sports betting legalization. Well, not anymore.

The former NBA commissioner recently made a complete turnaround from his former stance, telling ESPN.com’s David Purdum that “the notion that gambling will lead to bad things is ‘outdated.’”

Stern, along with major sports leagues such as the NBA, supported the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), which effectively limited state-sponsored betting to Nevada and, to a lesser extent, Delaware. In 2012, Stern even argued that, “The NBA cannot be compensated in damages for the harm that sports gambling poses to the fundamental bonds of loyalty and devotion between fans and teams.”

Four years later, and Stern is singing a new tune—thanks partly to the popularity of daily fantasy sports.
