MLB got down on their knees for DraftKings. Everything is proceeding exactly as they have foreseen.

The way gambling has become just another byline in sports media is gross. This is an industry that, like big tobacco, depends on addiction to drive interest, and ignores the consequences.

Nearly lost it the other night listening a game and there was an ad for a casino with a jingle set to Take Me Out to the Ballpark

Only a matter of time before this disrupts the lives of college athletes. Probably already has. Gambling has run amok. Disney-owned ESPN is a major vector. Shut it down.

This may be why the announcers (Braves) are constantly pushing the narrative of how hard everyone is working. Interviews are so tense.

Jesus. I remember earlier this season after Zac Gallen left the game for an injury. I was searching for what the injury might be and came across a bunch of gamblers online who had "lost a lot of money" on him and one who wished that he would need Tommy John surgery because he lost money.

Hockey’s gone all-in on gambling, too, and I’m wondering whether the first major scandal will be a ref or player getting shot or throwing a game. I’m sure both will happen eventually.

One of my @purplerow.bsky.social colleagues, @sammieb27.bsky.social, wrote last year about how this affected some Rockies players.
