Watching the NFL yesterday for the first time in a few years, I was blown away by how much it’s just a mechanism for pushing gambling addiction and alcoholism.
It does, but I think the NFL is the worst for it. It not only has a lot of commercials, but there’s sponsors all over everything.
The moment that made me realize just how bad it had gotten was watching a sportscenter knockoff as pre-game coverage for the night game, the entire screen was wrapped in a “Draft Kings” thing that the hosts referred to multiple times.
