Gee what a fuckin surprise, anyone who actually likes sports saw this coming years ago smh
Seriously it’s fucking cancerous.
Tried to watch ESPN for the first time in years and it was just them going over their bets which meant they covered a random hockey game they had a bet on, then a random college basketball game, then a baseball game without even mentioning what the series score was. (This is an example idr what the specific examples were so don’t @ me if some of those shirts don’t happen at the same time)
Plus it completely changes their coverage, instead of talking about like if ones team pitching will be enough to shut down a hot batting line up, now it’s about I’d one specific player will be able to get a double between the 4th and 6th inning for a prop bet.
Also I’ve noticed it really butchers the graphics display, before you just got the team and scores, now it’s who has the over or under and all this other bullshit. They mention it on the broadcast, they have to advertise these services on air as well, calling it cancerous is 100% accurate
Never thought I’d yearn for the days of everything just appealing to fantasy sports, now everything is betting and every company has a sportsbook.
I always thought the idea of fantasy sports was silly to me but it was relatively harmless cause it was more about bragging rights and knowhow, now ofc money is involved
