    Heaven forbid someone likes sports and tries to stop gambling too considering every ad break during sports games is for a betting app

    Hell I’ve seen them plastered over subways and other places, so even touching grass won’t help

    Gambling delenda est

      Gambling seriously ruined sports too.

      Tried watching sports center for the first time in years. Used to be they’d cover all the football games then all the baseball games then all the golf that happened etc.

      Now it’s just jumping around from random game to random game as the hosts go through their bets, all of which are stupid parlays that they’d never make money on if they weren’t getting paid to natively advertise it.

      Instead of talking about if one teams strong offense is gonna be enough to overcome another teams defense that’s been really hot lately it’s a discussion about if some random player is going to get more or less than 4 3 pointers during odd numbered minutes of the 4th quarter.
