that IS a problem though, there’s no reason for advertisements that run on “family friendly” sporting events to be so sexualized.

Got it, my “family friendly” gambling addict ads will put Sydney Sweeney in a Turtleneck

So what, nobody is allowed to point out one problem becuse another problem also exists? 

Let’s put it this way: one of these ads is a lot more attention grabbing and harder to explain to an 8 year old. I’ll let you guess which one that is.

You’re insane if you think gambling isn’t more of a problem with young men right now

Okay let’s agree that you’re right. 

We can also agree that a naked Sydney Sweeney is a lot more attention grabbing than a standard gambling ad, yes?

So then we should all be able to agree that hyper sexualized ads that steer young men toward gambling is even worse than a standard gambling ad, no?
