While I was going thru ESPN today, I was reading how the NFL was suspending some players for betting and baseball has had its share of betting, the NBA has had issues, but I would like other thoughts on why is it bad for players to bet on a sport they play but our politicians, both parties, bet on stocks that they regulate and oversee?
Off topic, but we need something to discuss; Betting in sports?

- Start date
Well.........neither of it is good or should be happening lol.
I’m of the opinion that no sport is totally ‘clean’ nowadays. Y’all really don’t think officials and players are betting and fixing games?
I am a daily player. Have been for over a decade.
I am proof that it can be done without losing your shirt.
But Money corrupts. It's ruining college sports (conferences...NIL...etc)
And it will stain the integrity of pro sports. It is inevitable.

Is it happening? Yeah sure.
Is it to a significant extent? That's a little bit less clear in my mind.
