Malik Beasley indicted on federal gambling charges
Sports gambling is a cancer. The NBA should be ashamed of how it has embraced and promoted it.
Lawrence Sauter85All of the major sports should be ashamed. Especially baseball!!
secondhalf74.bsky.social33I loved watching the nba finals. wow. but how disgusting the commercials. Shaq needs money and should sell phones? The toxic masculinity where truck means man. fucking stupid culture yet it doesn't have to be. Many players are very smart.
susanstone12.bsky.social20It will cripple an entire generation of young men.
CB West Ice Hockey14Online betting will be the cause of our next big economic crisis as millions of addicted gamblers default on credit cards and other financial obligations. There was a reason for generations gambling was widely outlawed in the US.
Dave Richards13More like institutionalized it. Ever seen a Scott Foster game? Betting lines move when he and his ego are assigned to a game.
sandiaman.bsky.social10That would be ALL sports. Every league is pushing sports betting on fans
steez5i know getting older means you lose touch with young people but i really dont know how the endless stream of gambling content on sports networks is doing anything but destroying young people
Captain Subaru Baja blast: the falafel lobbyist4Restrict gambling back to physical Casinos
jobondo.bsky.social3hell, all of them,,,,, from the NHL to the WNBA & all others in between.
The King of Blind Bay3Again I will point to me learning that Gretzky at hotdogs before every game through the HNIC panel and my kids are learning the difference between puck line and money line through the HNIC panel.
Bray2Seeing Tim Cahill sell himself to gambling ads during this World Cup has seriously diminished his legacy in my eyes. What a disgrace.
KT2When I see athletes promote these gambling websites it pisses me off. I immediately lose respect.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis among 6 charged in expanding federal probe of betting on games.
Bill26Get gambling out of sports. Stop advertising gambling sites during pro sporting events. Restore integrity to sports. And get out of prediction markets too. Which is just gambling dressed up as tech bros.
veggieman*9Do you ever wonder why Major league baseball came down so hard on Pete Rose? Maybe they were trying to put a stop to something that’s going to end up ruining sports….
ninjamonkky.bsky.social4Who'd have thought mass legalization of online gambling would lead to corruption...
Angele3Can you direct the Feds to Eric trump? We know he has a habit of betting on sports…& sick children.
johnfoleybeast3Sports betting is cancer, and always has been. It ruins lives.
Dave1Stop all sports gambling. It is not needed. And is mob controlled. As always.
Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges for gambling related to a sports betting scheme, such as point shaving and prop bets, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN. The government is coordinating a voluntary surrender of Beasley this week.
designoMatt29NBA: Hey, let’s partner with a gambling platform - what could possibly go wrong?
🎮 Chris Leeper 👾9Lmao it’s amazing how stupid human beings are capable of being
Nancy Levine Stearns8NBA Names FanDuel, DraftKings Co-official Sports Betting Partners “The two sports betting giants will serve as presenting sponsors for NBA TV and League Pass shows and collaborate on social media messaging and PSAs.” Adam Silver, hi! boardroom.tv/nba-fanduel-...
I'm sure he's the only one
Matt w/ the Gyatt (They/Them)1I think its insane that we are seeing this happen in multiple leagues and sports now.
Ana Zúñiga 1Gambling is promoted by the GOP, insider trading, No antitrust , etc.
Basketball Jones🖤❤️🤍🏀1435Maybe the NBA should rethink their relationship with Draft Kings and other gambling organizations (they won't) and stop running commercials nonstop through their broadcasts.
kaylie (evil)36natural byproduct of every major sports organization taking money from gambling platforms and prediction markets
Gomi4The NBA has a massive problem with Adam silver being in love with gambling companies but the previous commissioner was corrupt in a more straight forward and honest way that people pretend didn't happen and it's really funny
Wolfgang Ruck3Maaaaan I thought this said Steve Harvey lmao
Steph is GOAT2This is a way bigger problem for the league than flopping and load management
Malik Beasley, a nine-year NBA veteran, has been indicted on sports gambling charges by federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. Ed Davis, a former lottery pick who spent 12 seasons in the NBA, has also been indicted. Details: nyti.ms/4eXcioy
Sara Montour Lewis27But we should probably keep plastering sports betting ads all over every single game.
Scott Spratt2Me hoping no one remembers Ed Davis went to my alma mater UNC:
Keith Wynne2I will continue to be amazed that these guys who have made millions in the sport are dumb enough to gamble on games.
Malik Beasley and Ed Davis, both former NBA players, have been indicted on sports gambling charges by federal prosecutors. DOJ says Beasley agreed to manipulate his play during a Jan. 26, 2024 game while with the Bucks, and worked with Davis. www.nytimes.com/athletic/740...
Velodus✨35So this brings the number of NBA players who've been implicated in sports betting/total shaving since 2020 to four: Beasley, Davis, Porter and Rozier. If sports media wasn't completely in the tank with betting companies, this would be a massive, massive black eye to the league.
Sam Kamin11don't bring us into this
Sam Kamin9I can't believe how little money was involved in all of this
Mike Vorkunov4The NBA is reviewing today's indictment and continues to investigate Beasley. "We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and the integrity of our game remains our top priority.” The full quote:
