Related: About this forumThank 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 thats how America rolls now.
PS, the NFL is shady AF.

(113,201 posts)2. Uggh. I get so tired of seeing the betting ads. Of course it is going to "hook" a great number of younger viewers
