- Sports gambling's rapid takeover of the professional sports industry is arguably the most important development of our time in the world of athletics. The introduction of legal betting has created a powerful new source of temptation with corrosive effects on fans, players, owners, and ultimately the games themselves. Sports journalist Danny Funt joins Edge of Sports to discuss the phenomenon and his upcoming book on the subject.

Free Julian Assange and bring back Chris Hedges
I'm a long time subscriber, fan of Taya and Stephen. I'm disappointed that you've let Chris Hedges go. Reconsidering my opinion of your character.
I unsubscribed and encourage everyone to do so who desires freedom of opinion. Love live Chris Hedges!
bring back Chris Hedges. Or just close this channel.
Did you guys fire Chris Hedges? Is this true? If so, why?
? Seriously?
You're not permitted to speak or show the truth about the fascist Israeli government! This is why he was let go.
Unsubscribing in solidarity with Chris Hedges.
Good topic; i'd been wondering about college sports betting. Chris Hedges is a treasure and a saint; it is a loss to all that he has been axed by TRN. Please bring him back.
People.
With the legalization of sports betting plus the fact major leagues are now fully partnered with and heavily promoting on air
From this point forward...
Assume the worst and treat professional sports the same as professional wrestling.
Where outcomes are predetermined or at the least, officiating is heavily skewed towards a particular player or team.
I truly believe behind the scenes...
There is a small albeit powerful cabal of players, referees, and executives fixing matches. The amount of dirty money is simply too large to leave on the table.
If and when the inevitable scandal is blown open and the subsequent fallout.
It'll make Pete Rose look like a saint.
It is annoying that sports betting and fantasy sports are more popular than the underlying sport itself. I find it fascinating that people do sports betting or gambling of any sort. You are playing a game where you are mathematically set up to lose. I guess it don’t care if people lose their money foolishly, as long as the government doesn’t use my tax money to bail them out.
You're set to lose if you haven't done your homework. There's at least one no brainer every week.
@@microbe_rz37-rn1dk Maybe. I have no clue, I have never done any sports betting.
Paradoxically, the only people who either get banned, or have their action limited by Sports Books, are the sharp 8% of the bettors who are profitable!
Love your work. I hope to see it on another platform. Because Mr Alvarez is acquiescing to donor money by cancelling award winning journalists like Mr Hedges and Aaron Mate--your hard work--may look suspect by proxy. For this reason, I'm unsubscribed.
The hyper wealthy know common folk are desperate so they are cashing in on the desperation. Next up, the real life Hunger Games. Streamed live like a real life Black Mirror episode. Dios mio.
It is def a perfect storm for more scandal.💯
Thank you for this very important discussion. You have addressed all my concerns. I find it extremely disturbing how sports betting advertisement is allowed during games. Even more disturbing are the former athletes betting during games. I am seriously considering not watching altogether.
Hey...off topic...but not in the macro view.
REAL NEWS ?
Kicked Chris Hedges out on the street due to an RN funder complaint.
Chris Hedges. One of the 2 or 3 brilliant inetellects of our time.
Gone from Real News. On purpose.
So much for R N.
Gambling will makes us all poorer
WAY MORE Questionable call in NFL this year🎲💵💵
It has ruined all sports
I deeply dislike sportsa betting
Bring back Chris Hedges!
Was he fired?
I "un-subsribed" from Real News Network because Chris Hedges was dropped from the Network. Chris Hedges is a superior journalist, and intellectual. He makes the rest of you people look extremely mediocre in comparison. Real News Network post Chris Hedges--- good ridden trash!
FIRE MAX
Bring back chris
