I agree. But I also get why they do it. They should do like fantasy football and just have a show gamblers could tune into.

Yeah I can say that I’ve never seen the media really give a damn about covering the spread until like 3 or 4 years ago.

Sports betting isn’t nearly as taboo as it used to be. Espn started talking about it a lot more once the legislation went in motion to legalize it outside of Nevada.

I’ll prefer listening to that than about athletes dating life, athletes fashion, contract talks, who doesn’t like who in the locker room, which coach on the hot seat, Who is the goat.

The future of sports resides in gambling and finally the leagues are grasping that and playing to their audience. Fantasy Football saved the NFL and is what brought it to the top of the professional sports leagues. Per game sports wagering is finally being embraced, and the leagues will thrive from it.
