We'll start this item by pointing out one very important reality as to any reporting from NFL Media regarding the investigation into whether the Bengals hid a wrist injury to quarterback Joe Burrow before the condition became specifically aggravated and exacerbated in a Week 11 game at Baltimore.
Even the national media. I swear it’s not even about who is a good team or not anymore, it’s just who can cover or not. I really hate it as a non-gambler
I’m calling it now, in 10 years gambling is gonna get made illegal again because it’s going to cause a new opioid crisis. Fan Duel and Draft kings are the Purdue Pharma of the 2020s. Just wait til the divorce rate skyrockets because dad put this months rent money on a team parlay. Just like how we look back at the late 90s and early 2000s with horror at the OxyContin pill mills where anyone could get a prescription for opioids, we are going too look back in horror that every sports league in America has gambling plastered. All these media people who have been metaphorically telling us to try OxyContin are going to flip the script and be like “I can’t believe gambling has gotten this out of control,” and pretend they weren’t part of the problem. And let’s not forget that there isn’t a lot of economic prosperity right now. Millions of people are doing worse than they were before. Gambling is gonna be seen as a way to get rich quick, and it’s only gonna make the issue worse.
I hate how intertwined gambling is with the NFL now. That shits a plague

I choose to believe gambling companies have a stake in gacha games to get kids addicted early.
