Even as a dude who likes sports, gambling and hot women, I fucking hate all this shit so much. Let me decide to partake and enjoy these things at my own pace and leisure, don’t bombard me (and particularly impressionable and addict-prone youngsters) with it. It’s sick and frankly sad.

I think this hits the nail on the head . For a kid -- being able to watch sports on TV should get them excited about the sport.

These leagues want to get kids engaged young so you keep people in the sport , going to be hard to do when you are making it less about playing the sport And more on how to gamble on it. And then add on top why the person has no clothes on.
