  • Conflict of Interest

    Cannot objectively cover impact of sports betting on professional sports due to their sponsorship, yet somehow they pretend that they can. Horribly conflicted with respect to one of the biggest issues facing professional sports right now. They openly act as apologists for the sports betting industry.
