Great piece on a topic that would have been a major issue in the past. Now it's just petty corruption, I guess.

Would be good to have a backgrounder more broadly on why betting on sports in particular is a problem (why baseball is so set on preventing Pete Rose from being in the Hall of Fame, for example). And what the surrender to gambling might do to sports.

Don't know what to think. I just know I will never surrender my money to these people.

I wish I could say this surprises me but that's not the case. Disappointed, for sure. It's a pervasive addiction that will go untreated because there are billions at stake. For me, just trying to enjoy the game of baseball that I love is getting harder and harder!
