It doesn't make any sense logically. Online poker is illegal but sports betting is not. Does anybody think there's any chance all this gambling advertising is going to go away in American sports? Money talks.
Whoever said anything was logical :)

When professional sports embrace gambling, it's to be expected.

It was a bad idea from the beginning. I hate when they broadcast over/unders before a game or at halftime.

It is ridiculous how the game is geared at kids and families while encouraging gambling. I think it should go one way or the other, adults only broadcast with gambling adverts or family friendly content with zero gambling propaganda.

I say that as a supporter of sportsbooks also.

FWIW, Tyronne Lue and Chauncey Billups are friends.

This was posted by Tom Azarly on twitter before the game tonight.

A NBA memo sent to teams that relate to proposition bets among other things.
