I can't imagine what it will be like with ads when sports betting officially comes to Ohio.

The betting apps need to have a bet on when the betting apps will get to Ohio.

It has been a bit of a windfall for all local broadcast and sports networks.

This kind of unfettered access to gambling isn't going to go well, and the lure of taking in that kind of money that easily isn't going to do anything but bring about immense corruption of sports. It isn't the owners that concerns me, there are just a few of them. There are way more players, and at some point one of them is going to get paid not to play, or not play to their potential, or outright throw it.

The first public scandal concerning gambling will be college football or basketball. The NCAA is not only unprepared to manage it, they're contributing to its susceptibility.

Bring about? It's already there.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Why isn't it a conflict of interest for Marion Ilitch to own professional sports teams and casinos?
Marion does not own any sports team. So no conflict.
