I used to love sports, but they are unwatchable now with the arrogant entitled people playing them (many of whom are outright abusers or criminals).

There were point-shaving scandals in the 1950s and 1960s. (And, I see, 1970s and 1980s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_shaving).

Legalize betting on a sport that is insanely popular and refuse to pay athletes, who then are rife for accepting bribes to get a cut of that deal. As if that isn't the obvious outcome of that system?

so what, everyone gets to fuck the athletes but the moment they fuck back that's not fair anymore?

What next? we act surprised that polymarket / uma is a scam and doesnt actually help with predicting truth?
