Summary

Gambling on sports in America has been going on for generations. What was once taboo for sports leagues has become the norm, and that's promoting sports gambling. On today's episode I discuss the past week and the various stories that are having a negative impact on our sports leagues. Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers said publicly yesterday that he has never bet on sports or instructed anyone else to do so on his behalf. Yet, many questions remain involving his former interpreter and gambling allegations. Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said last week that he has been threatened by gamblers and that we are walking a dangerous line. Yesterday, ESPN reported that Jontay Porter of the Raptors is being investigated for suspicious actions regarding prop bets. I also discuss the negative effect on young men in this country as it relates to sports gambling. I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. These stories will soon become the norm and not the exception I'm afraid! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
