About this listen

Sports gambling, once totally illegal, has become rampant. The NBA especially has leaned into legal sports betting to prop up viewership and activate fan interest. But is gambling actually ruining sports? In this episode of "The Pop Culture Contrarian," Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew break down the recent FBI bust of an alleged NBA-linked gambling ring tied to organized crime, tech-rigged high-stakes poker tables, and even game manipulation. We talk about how this kind of scandal could wreck the reputation of the NBA and why fans might stop trusting what they're watching on the court.
