Good, fuck gambling. Look at cigarettes, no more ads and the usage has dropped like crazy. I don't know any young people under 20 that smoke.

It's crazy to me that campaigns like this, as well as the Prem banning betting sponsors on shirts soon, are so prevalent in football but in the US legal sports betting is just getting off the ground. It's been proven to be more detrimental than good for society in the UK but there's no discourse around it in the US.
AFC Wimbledon’s shirt sponsor is more evil than gambling though…

The thing is, booze and cigs are out and it's likely gambling is next. But the question is what insidious industry or product is going to fill the void. The gambling industry is willing to put in the big bucks but who will be there to cover those losses when inevitably it is banned?
No extra points for Saudi or Middle Eastern oil jokes. They're not slick.

Not joking, but oil companies/big polluters would probably be the next in line. Although I don't really think it's necessarily going to be as bad a company as betting sponsors, maybe like banks or car companies which aren't as bad.

This as we in the US have opened the floodgates on sports gambling in the past decade or so. The amount of ads during sports games for gambling has increased dramatically.
Good but let’s be honest there is simply way too much money involved at this point for this to ever happen
Gambling is fucking ruining all sports. I don't need the live odds and the parlays on every fucking sport. It's so fucking annoying.
