I cannot recommend this piece enough.

IMO: The cake is already baked with sports gambling in the U.S. There are too many entities with deep pockets making too much money for true societal change on how we think about it.

But this sobering piece is some kind of cautionary tale on the addiction.

Per @austinkarp.bsky.social:

Unrivaled averaged 314,000 viewers for its title game. Third-best audience ever but behind 377,000 viewers for last season’s 1v1 tourney and 364K for last season’s championship. Season viewership fell over 40% from last year. Attendance up. So +s and -'s.
