Is this sting specifically targeted to make it seem like a black athlete issue? Do they have open investigators on the NHL or MLB? Or was tbis deliberate?

 

[In The Zone '98]

It was designed to take down dummies using xray machines at poker games. Lol

Mf'ers always wanna be attached to the streets in some way

 

[King Poetic]

All design

Amazing how this popped up on opening night.. could have done this prior to the season.. you nikkas going to learn

Administration got black women out those federal jobs

Administration attacked black museums

Administration attacked DEI/HBCUs

but we talking about both sides/ black Americans vs Africans and Ashanti being bigger after dropping another kid

 

[BK The Great]

They would've never done this to the NFL. They're being targeted because of who's in office.

Are yall blaming the Biden admin?

Trump and them def wanted to get in on this because he's circling the block on everyone he thinks went after him...
but these cases were all started under Biden.

These dudes needed money that bad? To link up with the Italian mob? Should throw the book at them for that alone making racist Italians rich.

Let's be honest, this gambling issue just gives more hype and headlines for the NBA. If course it's technically and morally not a good thing, but NBA scandals are starting to go the Hollywood route, which is "bad press equals good press"

Not in the case of this type of situation because of the long term implications.

You'll have people thinking there's shady shyt going on with refs and players everytime they have a bad game or make a bad call.

That's not good for the league on top of having the feds snooping around and what they could find even not related to gambling.

It can fukk with the integrity and reputation of the league long term.
