A 2024 survey by the National Council on Problem Gambling found that "risky gambling behaviors" have leveled off after rising significantly from 2018 to 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic and with the rapid expansion of sports betting in the U.S.

Oh, so wtf does this even mean. Zero context, zero numbers, no percentages no info at all.

At this point, I think it’s a safe bet (pun intended) that gambling considerations have affected the NFL on the field of play in almost every game.

Government and its approved cronies want a cut of the action on all the vices - cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, marijuana

These used to the territory of organized crime, but it seems progressives decided the money is too good to pass up

Next up - Government controlled/taxed/permitted prostitution.

Legal or illegal, it was always the gambling that made the NFL a profitable business.

Even if the teams didn't profit directly from the gambling operations.

Likewise college football ever since it became the minor leagues for the NFL.
