(Atlantique) Légaliser les jeux de hasard sportifs a été une énorme erreur.

Turning it into a completely inescapable, fully embedded part of every sports broadcast will only help grow it into a nationwide epidemic. At least before, you had to go out of your way to gamble, and people with gambling addiction could watch games without being bombarded with constant temptation to throw their paycheck away, or worse.
