Dont blame the NHL or any sports entity, the government made it legal as far as single game betting. Now its an arms race to see who gets the bigger pieces of the pie, and to be fair its been around for many years. Now that money just remains in Canada for the most part is all that has really changed. Morality has no place in that discussion. Its the alcohol/weed conversation all over.

As for SN and the digital ads, cant really fault them much for trying to maximize their return on a massive investment. I dont care for some of the content either, but certainly understand why i am seeing it. As always I do have the choice not to watch it as well.

Wanting "protection" from something you have entire control over whether or not you consume it, is just silliness.
