Of all gambling sponsorship and advertising in football...
"It’s like gambling has taken over football. If you watch a game on TV you are inundated with ads - gambling logos are on almost half of Premier League shirts, and constantly flash up on pitch side boards. For me, the fun already stopped. This is an abuse of football and of football fans."

Any Americans who own the gambling sites? That'd be good for a riot or two.

When I was younger, they used to play public service announcements on ESPN about not gambling on college sports. Now they devote entire segments on talk shows to the lines on tonight's games. It's sickening.
Of all the things a person could piss their money away on, gambling is the dumbest-- and one of the most potentially destructive.

It's endemic in Australian sports. Reached it's crescendo a few years ago when contemptible dickweed Robbie Waterhouse, (who's father is a jockey twice banned for fixing races) who owns the gambling site Robbiewaterhouse.com, actually paid Channel 9 to have a commentary spot on Friday Night Football. The idea was he could give live odds on spot bets like first try scorer, next try scorer etc. during the game. It went down like a lead balloon and only lasted a week.
But you still get all these competing gambling agencies paying for air time when they can talk about head 2 head odds, handicaps and other minutiae you can bet on. All legal provided you end your segment with "Please Gamble Responsibly."
And yes, a lot of teams sponsored by betting agencies. Manly even changed their Stadium name to Lottoland.

I never would have guessed!

I never would have guessed! And I actually got my Waterhouses mixed up! Robbie is the twice banned jockey. His son Tom owns the betting agency Tomwaterhouse.com. shows how little attention I pay to gambling ads eh? |

"There are thought to be 55 different gambling sponsorship or partnership deals with 44 football clubs in the top two divisions in England. Young people make up 25% of the audience of Premier League football and are exposed to gambling through shirt and league sponsorship, pitch side advertising, TV broadcast advertising, social media and endorsements by footballers.
Logos plastered across every fixture and ground are ruining the game for many struggling with addiction and risk drawing in more. There are 55,000 11-16 year old “problem gamblers” and 340,000 adult gambling addicts in the UK according to research."

Never mind the global pandemic of match fixing at lower tiers in smaller locales. Here's a book to peruse...  If it takes flashy annoying graphics to get attention to the sport so be it. |
