If I were a celebrity I’d make sure to sign every letter of my name legibly so future generations would know.

Wonder if Progressive or GEICO is pleased with this setup. #mlb #SportsBiz

We are living in the stupidest timeline.
I miss the days when every other ad during football wasn't a gambling ad. I hate it so much.

06.08.2025 00:21 — 👍 360 🔁 35 💬 18 📌 17I took a group of 40 people to this game. We paid for $50 worth of concessions 6 months ago. We are not crossing the picket line. We confirmed with the striking workers that the team store is not staffed by them, so we brought in food and will be spending our credits there without scabbing. ✊✊✊

It’s almost like gambling is being incessantly pushed by leagues, teams and media companies. Too bad the text in locker rooms warning players about gambling isn’t in a font as big as the signs on the Jumbotron, outfield walls, suite levels and highlight clips….
