Maybe something like them knowing that the perception among some is that making basically everything covering sports anymore is gambling and that it grosses people out. Not to mention the whole 100+ year old aversion to being even remotely associated in gambling. It was the biggest sin a player or team could commit.

I don't have a problem with people gambling and I used to bet on games through a bookie or in Vegas or whatever. But it was through a person. Now you're just giving some billionaire (donkey)(censored) another billion to put towards his yacht. And you can do it right there on your phone. At least a casino might ban you if you got too crazy with the gambling. Pump all you want into these betting apps. Who's going to ever stop you? Lose all you want. No thank you. I'll gamble through an actual guy. The human interaction is good.

But, yeah, they should probably build it in whatever they call that big, giant circle room with the huge TV at Ballpark Village? It's almost perfectly set up already to look like a sports book. It would probably make a good sports book. Maybe it'll bring a lot more people to Ballpark Village on nights during the week or something just because degenerate gamblers will show up anywhere where they can drink and gamble. Then again, it might scare off a lot of regular people. You ever been to the horse track on a random afternoon? Not people I want to be surrounded by.

Apparently I offended one of those race track dirt bags.
