So, will holdout states legalize it soon? Or will they keep missing out on billions?

Meanwhile, illegal sports betting is a billion-dollar black market. Offshore sites and bookies take bets with zero consumer protections. Public opinion is shifting—most Americans support legal sports betting.

So, shouldn’t states regulate it, tax it, and make it safer?

Economic fears: State lotteries and tribal casinos don’t want competition. Sports betting could pull money away from them, affecting education funds (lotteries) or tribal communities (casinos).

These groups lobby HARD to keep sports betting out.

Regulatory nightmares: Some states require constitutional amendments or voter referendums just to put sports betting on the table.

Example: California’s 2022 ballot—hundreds of millions spent, multiple proposals, and still… NOTHING changed.

Moral objections: Some lawmakers and advocacy groups argue that gambling leads to addiction, crime, and broken families. Religious groups especially see it as a moral issue, not just an economic one.

But... illegal sports betting is already thriving. 🤔

🚨 Why is sports betting STILL illegal in some states? Over 30 states have legalized it, raking in billions in tax revenue. But places like California and Texas are still holding out.

Let’s break down the real reasons why. 🧵👇 https://youtu.be/khWsMTT7RxY

Discover how Trump’s presidency could reshape the sports world, from transgender athlete policies to NCAA reforms and unionization efforts. This video dives ... How Donald Trump Will Affect Sports (Trans Bans, Unions, and More)

The next four years will shape the future of sports like never before. What do YOU think is the most important issue? Let’s discuss. 👇 https://youtu.be/hKzGzIZ0Grk

⚖️ The NCAA’s Future
Republican wins in 2024 could protect the NCAA’s traditional amateurism model. But is it outdated? Athletes demand change, from profit-sharing to antitrust reforms.

🏀 NCAA and Unionization
Dartmouth basketball players tried to unionize in 2023 but faced pressure and withdrew. With Trump’s administration favoring big organizations, unionization efforts could face an uphill battle.

📜 Transgender Athlete Policies
The House recently passed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.” Supporters say it ensures fairness. Critics argue it excludes athletes. This fight is far from over.

What does Trump’s presidency mean for the future of sports? 🏈🏀

Let’s break it down. 🧵

YouTube video by Mike Kravchenko NFL Players Are in DANGER

What do you think? Should leagues do more to ensure player safety?

For the full breakdown of these crimes, their legal implications, and what athletes are doing to fight back, check out my latest video: youtu.be/F1Delh8N7t8?...

So, what’s being done?
🔒 NFL has issued security alerts.
👮‍♂️ Players like Matthew Stafford are working with law enforcement.
💼 Legal support is helping athletes protect their assets.
But the question remains: Is it enough?

It’s not just players—those connected to them are at risk too. Dak Prescott’s fiancée had $40k worth of valuables stolen from her car during the holidays.

Being an NFL star—or even knowing one—can make you a target.

Joe Burrow faced this reality too. While he led the Bengals to victory, burglars broke into his Ohio home. Shockingly, even with security guards stationed outside, the criminals bypassed defenses.

The methods? Sophisticated and scary.

These criminals use:
📅 Public schedules (like game times)
📱 Social media posts
📡 Advanced tech like Wi-Fi jammers
Their planning is so precise that even top-notch security systems aren’t stopping them.

Imagine this: You’re scoring a game-winning touchdown while burglars ransack your home. That’s exactly what happened to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce—both targeted on consecutive days during games.

This isn’t random—it’s calculated.

🚨 NFL players are under attack—literally. Organized crime rings are targeting their homes for high-stakes robberies, even during games. 🏠💼

From Patrick Mahomes to Joe Burrow, no one is safe. Let’s break down the shocking details. 🧵👇

Breaking into the homes of NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow isn’t random—it’s calculated. Organized crime rings are exploiting public schedules & social media to hit when players are most vulnerable. 🏡 😨

Sports are thrilling, but they can push boundaries—sometimes too far. What do you think? Should the legal system step in more often, or should leagues keep policing their own? Let’s discuss. 👇

Consider Myles Garrett swinging a helmet at Mason Rudolph’s head in 2019 or Roger Clemens throwing a broken bat at Mike Piazza during the 2000 World Series. Neither faced legal charges.

Then there’s Dino Ciccarelli, who hit Luke Richardson in the head with his stick during a 1988 NHL game. The result? A day in jail—the first NHL player sentenced for an on-ice act. But why aren't ALL violent acts in sports prosecuted?

Bertuzzi's actions far exceeded hockey's norms. The courts debated whether the Canucks' environment of retaliation contributed to the attack. The lawsuit stretched over a decade, finally settling in 2014 for an undisclosed amount.

First, meet Todd Bertuzzi. In 2004, his retaliatory attack on Steve Moore during an NHL game resulted in Moore suffering fractured vertebrae & a career-ending concussion. Bertuzzi faced criminal charges and a civil lawsuit. Here's what happened: 👇

Ever wonder if athletes can be criminally charged for taking things too far in a game? Turns out, the answer is... it depends. Let’s explore some shocking incidents and the legal questions they raise. 🧵👇
