TOP STORY

1. The Inevitable Bill of Legalized Sports Gambling Has Come

“For the last seven years, anyone who cares about sports has been conditioned to accept that gambling goes hand-in-hand with the activity of watching a game.

We turn on a podcast, we get an offer code from a betting app. We read a story, we get the pop-up ad directing us to check out the odds. Even when we go to an arena in certain markets, you walk right past the sports book before getting to your seat.

Since the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018, allowing states to legalize sports gambling if they chose to, the industry behind it hasn’t merely presented itself as an option. Instead, it’s been a machine brazenly conditioning our brains to accept all of it as part of the game simply because it’s legal.”
