Thank you SCOTUS for effing up sports

In 2018 SCOTUS ruled that the federal ban on sports betting was unconstitutional. With huge amounts of money tied up in bets what does America do?????

They start to use threats against those in the sports world because that’s how America rolls now.

PS, the NFL is shady AF.
