Some addictions have a bigger blasť radius. Sports gambling can run to thousands of dollars/pounds and ruin families in a couple of months. Alcoholism takes longer. Drug addiction tends to take longer.
They’re all bad because they’re about loss of control and who else is hurt.

The handling of Jalen Hurts’ calf injury is fishy, and there’s nothing to protect gamblers from not getting enough information about it.

DA PHUCK?????

This is what sports gambling has given us: a player suffers a genuinely scary injury and the sports press is out here saying it needs to be handled in a way to PROTECT GAMBLERS

Genuine scum: The NFL, sports media, the gambling houses enable/encourage this behavior

I hadn’t really thought about the gravity of the situation, until I read online about how the fundamental relationship of viewing sports has changed. And, how it’s destroying the common thread of group enjoyment. Destroying one of the few allowed spaces of real male connection that exists in this society. When you are looking at it for sport, and the other person is looking at it because they have money on it..there is nothing common for the both of you. No shared experience. You aren’t even watching the same event.
