Hypocrisy In The Sports World
Regarding Online Gambling
While chilling out the
other night watching the National Hockey League playoffs, I was
intrigued not only by the game but by what I saw around the rink. As I
scanned the dasher boards surrounding the ice saw something more
interesting than the game. The advertisements there not only featured
local, regional and national companies but also boldly featured a block
of advertisement for a chain of online casinos.
I seem to recall that sports teams had places their strong support for
legislative efforts to ban online casinos and their use in the United
States, this didn’t seem to coincide with that thesis.
Attempts to ban Americans from betting on games, playing poker and
entering the casinos of the Internet seemed widely supported by the
sporting industry. I believe it was stated hat "all" the major
professional and collegiate sports leagues were supporting the total ban
of online casinos. So what has brought on this massive leap in
hypocrisy?
New scratch cards are being introduced for the base ball playoffs and it
seems that collecting baseball cards has taken on a whole new, rather
lucrative meaning. Online casinos make a fortune from eager American
bettors waiting to hedge their bets on sporting events.
In Basketball not only is there a huge advertisement for an online
casino, but the announcer even mentions the chain of online casinos and
poker rooms during the game. A football league has also accepted
advertising from a chain of online casinos in what must have been a
seriously lucrative deal. As for fantasy league games, which is prime
advertising ground for online casinos, enabling people to purchase their
own players fro their favorite teams. Far from banning online casinos
and sports betting, the sports world is developing and nurturing the
industry, introducing new and interesting ways for online casinos to
offer sports betting to the American public. Rather than hearing how
sports leagues are trying to prevent the growth of online casinos, all
we hear is how they are working with them, a far cry from the shouts of
support for right wing anti gambling legislation that was heard not so
long ago.
It seems obvious that is the sports leagues were truly against online
casinos they would not take their money for advertising revenues.
However, money often speaks louder than morals. Lotteries logos and
betting in online casinos seems widely promoted in American sports right
now, yet there has been no statement of a turn around in policy. Online
casinos have offered the whole world a temptation that has been hard to
resist, it seems that mighty American sports industry is far from
immune.
This is a shining example of how American sports have no particular
interest in the banning online casinos. Perhaps they will speak out
against poker or people visiting online casinos to play roulette, but
where there’s a buck to be made for themselves, the story reads somewhat
differently.
