Great article again, Robert. Question, if you know it -- any clue why it sounds like someone is ringing one off the post seemingly every ~30 seconds? I've heard it all tournament and can't figure it out
Great article! And dead on about gambling separating sports fans rather than bringing them together. I can't count how many times I've seen a small number of people celebrating despite their team losing. You seen 100 people in an orange jersey and most are distraught bc their season ended but half a dozen are cheering bc they won some money.
I ABHOR the way gabling has already infected so much of sports. From promotions, to ads, to coverage, to how the game is presented. The gambling aspect is often given more attention than the sporting aspect and for someone who doesn't gamble that's all just worthless noise to me.
Yes yes yes. We love the thing itself, and we love experiencing it together. Anything that gets in the way of that needs to go.
The NHL can be plenty profitable without shoving FanDuel down our throats. Perhaps they might consider not alienating certain groups of fans ? Just a thought.
Not to mention the lives ruined by gambling (especially the lives of women and children who were not the ones doing the betting).

I have wondered this too! And I have no clue whatsoever.
