(Eric Fisher) FanDuel est sur le point de mettre son nom sur les RSN en péril de Bally Sports : l’accord impliquera que FanDuel acquière un « pourcentage à un chiffre du capital » dans une DSG réorganisée, avec des bons de souscription basés sur la performance qui permettraient de doubler cette propriété. miser.

Oh god
This can’t possibly end poorly.
Holy shit I hate sports betting
Sports betting was a mistake. Crazy that they’re allowed to be sponsors on top of that.
Get betting out of baseball.
I think it speaks to how unknown the Bally’s casino name is nationally that people are only now upset that these RSNs have gambling companies sponsoring them.
no no no please tell me this doesn’t bring Bally back to the Rangers
It is at times like these that I like to trot out the fact that the MLB actually banned *Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays* for life for *working* for a casino that did not have sports betting, back in the day.
How far we’ve fallen.
saw this on i believe the television reddit the other day. very disturbing.
While the supreme court should have made gambling legal and a state decision instead of broadly making it illegal everywhere, the advertising and inundation of gambling has opened up a proverbial pandora’s box which may never be closed again.
Everywhere you look are gamblin’ ads. Gambling sportsbooks by the stadium itself. Inane gambling ads with Kevin Hart and LeBron James smashing art. « Get out ». Lines, parlays and O/U all over baseball games and pre-game shows, to the point where ESPN uses fraudulent « FPI » and « Win Probability » indicators to « inform the public » through their fake stats about who is more likely to win.
We need less gambling, and this is from somebody gambling every week on football. We do not openly advertise cigarettes, and there are restrictions on alcohol advertising (you never see anyone take a drink, everyone is always around the « grill » having a good time smiling outdoors but nobody drinks, in Korean TV ads you see people drink). The same should take place for gambling. It should still be legal, but it shouldn’t be openly advertising and sponsoring networks like this.
Fucking hell I’m glad Denny Matthews is still going strong. If these chucklefucks take over the Royals from Bally’s and not Prime, I swear y’all (not that Lord Bezos is much better, but still).
JFC, this should only be allowed if FanDuel gets charged 1000 bucks every time some shitstain threatens a player’s family over them losing their shitty parlay
Gambling has just grown like a tumor on all of our sports leagues in the past couple years. Is it worse than all the alcohol commercials? Idk, but it’s definitely not any better.
Sports and advertising products to destroy yourself seem to be inextricably linked.
MLB selling out to gambling. Ippei died for this.
hey guys, I dare you to look up what Bally is
Wonderful, more gambling commercials cuz we dont have a gambling problem in this country already.
Gross.
