#1 Legalized gambling (casinos, video slots, sports books, etc) are destroying lives.

MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA partnering with them is just making it worse.

BINGO! There is a special faction in America that oddly and always have a big hand in promoting addictive societal policies that end up making the promoters very rich while creating harmful destructive behavior for many others. Look at gambling, drugs, social media for starters. And somehow they can always control the politicians behind it. I'm a big believer in personal and individual freedom but I'm not big on promoting or making access or this behavior easier and more convenient for the susceptible masses. Many people are overly susceptible and they always end up needing public help and hurting their lives and families. It is a difficult area of policy, but crooked politicians and their cronies like to see it because it brings money into their fold. Both parties likely have their hands in it, but around here generally Democrats are the primary catalysts.
