While the passion of Red Sox fans is well known, Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito believes there’s a different cause for the recent spate of threats: Gambling.

I believe it.

I read an article recently about how much money people or losing on the gambling apps and websites.

These things should be outlawed. Addiction is just too easy.

Yeah, prohibition always works.

I have gambled once in my life. I actually placed money on a Presidential win with Trump being the winner in 2020. The Democrats cheated and I lost. I requested that bet be looked over again if the election is overturned and I was told that I was basically SOL. Never again. And yes, I knew it was stupid but had so much faith in our President. I just didn’t have that much faith that Joe Biden, the diaper clad idiot, would be able to cheat as big as he did.

At the very least, “Official Betting Partner of the MLB” should not be a thing.
