Nice!

I’m a Wolves fan and the Spurs have been a foil for my team many times over the years but I’ve always respected them and loved Pop, Duncan and The Admiral. Love Wemby too and the fact that he’s brave enough to speak out about this stuff and politics in general.

So if they took ads 80 years ago she’s what lying? I bet you lied to your mom once, it’s jail for you!

respect for drawing a clear line here. when athletes normalize betting through sponsorships, it can blur the boundary between the sport itself and the gambling ecosystem around it.

Love all of this.

He's a shit. Knicks in five!!!!

Of coarse he is speaking in front of a sign that shows Victory Capital as their main sponsor. Victory Capital is a very expensive “wealth management” company that gambles on the markets. Just sayin’

You are now relieved of your behoovement.

The Guardian is my go to for news and background information.

Is LeBron going to try to rough Wemby up when the two meet in their first game?

I’m just stopped caring about sports.

Shame the paper hates trans folks www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...

I got a Kalshi ad on my Instagram feed today, and they had a graphic with the odds on who’d win the race between Talarico and Paxton, with the question “Who do you bet will win the Texas governor’s race?” I replied, “I bet neither.” That told me all I needed to know about them. Dolts.

let the record show it was a "hell yeah"

And better coverage of world news than any English-speaking outlet I've found. Though I do pay for it. Because I value good journalism. Even though I don't give a toss about sports coverage. Sorry. At least I do know who Wemby is.

I never see the owners and politicians take heat for supporting sports betting. Why are the players criticized but not the owners? Do we criticize alcohol advertisements? Its the selective outrage and hypocrisy that pisses me off. Rich white men are immune from media criticism

I’m a subscriber so I can verify all true. 💙

Okay, but, The Guardian is on record to be a transphobic rag, so it's a moot point. archive.ph/kPBTE

Good on him!

Gambling is a terrible addiction that destroys families, lives and careers. People who gamble have a problem.

Youth are always more idealistic for sure... and it wanes later. But his youthful idealism is legit right now.

I grew up with the “Grauniad” but ended my years’ long subscription after I saw yet another opinion piece from racist trash justifying genocide in Gaza. Why should I pay for shit like that? I don’t! I switched to Byline Times instead. I like the G reminding me how many articles I’ve read for free.

I’m a Laker fan for life and really liked and appreciated Lebron James for his hard work, innate skill and ability to stay pretty drama free. I am so disappointed that he looked at his life and thought, ‘I don’t make enough money, why don’t I start promoting sports betting!’ The King has fallen.

The little odds lower right on Apple TV, moving a team to Vegas, I think we’re what’s coming. Wrigley Field has a huge bet shop attached to it.

Im a @us.theguardian.com subscriber. Best damn daily available! Keep up the great work. I love you more knowing you dont take ad $ from gambling companies.

And you've been instrumental in spreading bigotry and hatred in the UK to strip away the rights of vulnerable people

America celebrates genocide every Thanksgiving Humans have issues .. Everyone who flies is trans We weren't born with wings Like Satan www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP-L...

Im thankful for his powerful opinion and words, but I also feel sad that a Frenchman has to show Americans what morals and integrity look like.

I’m boycotting all pro sports until I see these millionaire athletes stand up for all Americans, for democracy, human rights, women’s rights, voting rights and civil rights. Ther fortunes are made from the wallets of working class citizens. Fans would listen if they had the balls to speak up.

I was raised on The Guardian but I find the sports section to be overwhelmingly male. Stories of female athletes all too often "human interest" oriented.

I'm a happy subriber to the @theguardian.com. Also great, now I have a local DC news source I can (and did) subscribe to. Also recommended: @washingtonsun.com

Very sad to see professional sports support gambling in any form! US professional sports are fix now, only possible conclusion I can make! Money hates fairness!

Side note - You guys also do AMAZING environmental reporting.

you do publish a lot of transphobic trash tho, don't you?

It raises questions about WNBA Does old stars were receiving brown envelopes from someone before Caitlin Clark and that is the reason why all WNBA, Commissioner, owners, players and referees make her life hell ? Bets cannot be good if you don’t control the outcome anymore

Excellent

I like Wemby being real but if this was Jaylen Brown saying it, he’d be mocked for thinking he is the smartest in the room or a disease. Geez..

And if The Guardian hadn't beatified Charlie Kirk, I'd still be a supporter.
