For me, it's frustrating to see the integrity of sports being compromised by legalized gambling. It's like the focus has shifted from the game itself to the potential payouts, and it's disheartening to witness. The rise of fixed games and questionable calls definitely takes away from the pure enjoyment of sports.

I went to the college game for pure sports. Now, I don't know what to think. A team just unionized. Almost all are getting paid. Money spoils everything. All the grubbers are pining for their payout and getting it.

You can really see it in hockey now. They legalized something with sports betting a couple years ago up here in Canada and ever since then there has been an explosion of advertising and a push towards more and more online sports betting companies. The advertising is absolutely relentless. I was a die-hard hockey fan not long ago but you can easily see how things have changed when you watch now. Every call, every hit, every play, is scrutinized to high heaven. You only got that kind of trash in Football a few years back. I can't take it anymore, honestly, and I've pretty much quit following hockey because of it.
