Is the MSM downplaying the NBA gambling scandal?

I don’t watch espn so I haven’t seen much coverage on it
Seems like a pretty big deal to me

Nah... it's just Trump coming for the NBA because of their liberal stances. I know this because Stephen A Smith told me so. He's gunning for the WNBA next.

NFL=don't care

Im actually surprised with how much coverage its gotten

Everyone who watches the NBA already knew stuff like this was happening. Im surprised more players aren’t involved.

Just another example of how stupid Stephan Smith is : per all reports, this FBI's investigation started years ago. Long before POTUS Donald Trump started his second term. And not as far back as into his first term.

Stephen A. Smith thinks Trump is unleashing the FBI on the NBA because they’re mostly black.

“Trump is coming. He's coming...Anybody that has seen his reactions from the sports leagues and the positions that people have taken, they are not surprised at what's going on today...this is just the tip of the iceberg" - Stephen A. Smith
“Trump is coming. Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl and all of a sudden you hear that ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is going to be there looking to engage in mass deportations. The Super Bowl. Disrupting things. It’s not an accident, it’s a statement. And it’s a warning that more is coming. It’s as serious as it gets.
In his eyes, folks tried to throw him in jail, In his eyes, he’s innocent. ‘They tried to put me behind bars. I’m getting everybody.’ He’s not playing. Talk to people in the NBA, talk to people in the NFL, talk to people in the world of sports. They think this is the tip of the iceberg.
Don’t be surprised if the WNBA is next on his list. Because when you have all of these protests that have been going on out there, and people have been protesting against him... this man is coming.”

Local and National sport shows push gambling 24/7. They net a lot of revenues from gambling interests and I’m guessing that they don’t really want to give these scandals much attention.
Look at how the Ohtani thing was handled.

Seems like it. They're trying to make it all about the poker game.

You are acting like CBS, ABC, and NBC show NBA games or cover the NBA. Of course they don’t which is why our attention is divided on the East Wall that Hakeem wants to tear down.

NBC had two games on opening night… I think ABC still has games

Yes...
Disney/ESPN which advertises constantly for gambling sites, trotted out puppet company shill Stephen A. to do a dance for his overlords, blaming Trump for going after black NBA players/coaches out of spite because they didn't do nuthin'.
Gambling is SO embedded in the business and culture of Sports with public doubts to its legitimacy, they have to ignore this and pretend the House of cards is solid. Former NBA ref turned felon, Timmy D says 95% of NBA refs are crooks and that Game 6 Lakers/Kings was totally fixed by Dick Bovetta.

I talked to pretty well known basketball referee on a flight a couple of years ago. He retired that year and said he was worried about his daughter getting into the profession due to sports betting’s influence. He said the WNBA officiating is where the real corruption is because it’s off the public’s radar.

Gambling, huh? It’s been going on for longer than Stephen A Smith has been at BSPN.
