Umm go look at whats happened over the last decade or so in the Serie A (Italian Soccer League) and countless lower tier pro tennis matches.
Gambling seriously dilutes the product. Turns it in to pro wrestling where you have to question if what you are watching is "real". Thats why you should care.
Sports may be the last true bastion, outside of war, where you figure it out on the field, free from encumbrances, and left entirely to your efforts on it. You frick with that and you lose all credibility.
Thats why ive been so blown away by pro sports welcoming of gambling in all their marketing. Talk about a deal with the devil. I think because of this and the TV money pro sports will look totally different in 10-15 years. shite basically will be pro wrestling and there is nothing any of us can do to stop it.
Gambling on sports has always happened. The reason players are getting caught now is because it is legal and done on apps that can be tracked.

In baseball at least, it is perfectly fine for players, etc., to legally gamble on anything except baseball. Emphasis on LEGALLY. Gambling with bookies is inherently illegal so it’s forbidden. What bookies have apps?
