Being a Sunday sports spud, watching the relentless flood of pro-gambling ads, wondering if we’re heading for an echo of the Oxycontin disaster; a tsunami of lives wrecked by addiction.

A different flavor of catastrophe; what’s the same is that the perpetrators get to walk away with billions.

Destroying whole generations is good business.

@timbray Likewise. I am flummoxed and dismayed than the NFL went from at least publicly disavowing sports betting to *literally* co-sponsoring it with the likes of FanDuel. I'm not anti-sports-betting for those who enjoy it, but I loathe the fact that it's no longer possible to get sports coverage without this stuff inextricable interleaved.
