All this gambling app shyt is gonna topple down and it's gonna take a lot of entities down with them. There are sports radio stations that only exist because of their Fan Duel deals keeping the lights on. Not to mention all these (shytty) podcasts.

You can say that yea been in the game 2 decades
So cause one or two refs get caught, fired and banned in 20 years, it means that every game is orchestrated by… eh, the league that catch, fire and ban them? Make that make sense
The reason they do take this shyt so seriously, with lifetime bans and stuff is for the integrity of the product they are selling. Other than that, not seldom does the FBI and stuff get involved and there's additional money launder, tax evasion and on. That a large group of billionaires and fortune 500 companies would engage in a RICO so that some refs can net 80k from gambling is just unrealistic.

Sucks cause he was one of the better umps. Should have had a translator
Interesting. Has shady stuff increased A LOT since the legalized nationwide gambling started?

The leagues will fight tooth and nail. It will have to be imposed. They will always argue they can handle monitoring, that these were “bad apples” etc. The money is too much to give up willingly. Finally, the industry is very politically savvy.

It’s easier to spot as folks are much more reckless. The jontay porter stuff for instance was absolutely wild flagrant. Absolutely moronic to even attempt
