Shaq is a gazillionaire and yet promotes a parasitic gambling industry.
He doesn't need the money, but I reckon he takes what they throw at him...Really not impressed with his choices post-career. Why not promote something a little more positive to society than an industry that preys on people.
Sportbet still have 500-1 odds on Manly winning the premiership ffs. Its factually impossible for them to even make the 8, yet on the NRL site, there it is. A fool and his wealth are thus parted and all that jazz sure....
But whats next Shaq? Spokesperson for the responsible use of Fentanyl?
Sooner we shake this entire gambling ****e industry addiction out of the game the better imo. And Pride-7 aside and their selective morals (on what constitutes that line in the sand their religious beliefs won't condone), I am distrubed by how OK everyone seems to be with it dominating the sponsorship and also the Leagues-clubs (via pokies) of the NRL.
Its a game propped up largely by leeching from the vulnerable - and worst of all, from it's very own fans. And that just doesn't sit right with me.. Sorry if I'm a party-pooper on this one 🙁
