The FBI won’t shutdown the NBA. The Chicoms are paying too much to be entertained and showing the folks in China “this is what Americans act like”.

I love how The Guardian totally ignores how the Premier League also is heavily sponsored by sports betting apps. It is even on team uniforms.

They’re never happy with what they have. They have to be greedy, and try to get more, any way they can.

I predict this will all come crashing down when trial lawyers realize how lucrative it would be to represent losing gamblers in lawsuits against professional sports leagues, teams, and even coaches and players.

Not surprising, also most sports talk radio has at least half of their advertisers gambling outfits.

It's all WWE...guess sports are trying to compete with politics/other now for most corrupt.

Like the man said..."it's all about the dollars"

The NBA would never have been a profitable business in the first place if not for gambling, even when they did not partake directly of gambling revenue.

Likewise the NFL.

There’s going to be something similar happening in the NFL if it hasn’t already.
