Malik Beasley indicted on federal gambling charges
Sports gambling is a cancer. The NBA should be ashamed of how it has embraced and promoted it.
Lawrence Sauter58All of the major sports should be ashamed. Especially baseball!!
secondhalf74.bsky.social24I loved watching the nba finals. wow. but how disgusting the commercials. Shaq needs money and should sell phones? The toxic masculinity where truck means man. fucking stupid culture yet it doesn't have to be. Many players are very smart.
YvetteJR718☮️💙♋️ ♎️❌23Every major Sport is guilty. I think it’s extremely predatory. It’s really hurting young people, especially young men. They’re very susceptible.
susanstone12.bsky.social15It will cripple an entire generation of young men.
CB West Ice Hockey9Online betting will be the cause of our next big economic crisis as millions of addicted gamblers default on credit cards and other financial obligations. There was a reason for generations gambling was widely outlawed in the US.
Dave Richards9More like institutionalized it. Ever seen a Scott Foster game? Betting lines move when he and his ego are assigned to a game.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis among 6 charged in expanding federal probe of betting on games.
Bill22Get gambling out of sports. Stop advertising gambling sites during pro sporting events. Restore integrity to sports. And get out of prediction markets too. Which is just gambling dressed up as tech bros.
veggieman*6Do you ever wonder why Major league baseball came down so hard on Pete Rose? Maybe they were trying to put a stop to something that’s going to end up ruining sports….
Angele3Can you direct the Feds to Eric trump? We know he has a habit of betting on sports…& sick children.
Dave1Stop all sports gambling. It is not needed. And is mob controlled. As always.
Charlie 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴1It’s funny to be probing something you simultaneously promote heavily. Like sure these dudes were doing some wrong stuff but this is, in effect, just a sting operation lol
Malik Beasley, a nine-year NBA veteran, has been indicted on sports gambling charges by federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. Ed Davis, a former lottery pick who spent 12 seasons in the NBA, has also been indicted. Details: nyti.ms/4eXcioy
Sara Montour Lewis23But we should probably keep plastering sports betting ads all over every single game.
Scott Spratt2Me hoping no one remembers Ed Davis went to my alma mater UNC:
Keith Wynne2I will continue to be amazed that these guys who have made millions in the sport are dumb enough to gamble on games.
Malik Beasley and Ed Davis, both former NBA players, have been indicted on sports gambling charges by federal prosecutors. DOJ says Beasley agreed to manipulate his play during a Jan. 26, 2024 game while with the Bucks, and worked with Davis. www.nytimes.com/athletic/740...
Velodus✨33So this brings the number of NBA players who've been implicated in sports betting/total shaving since 2020 to four: Beasley, Davis, Porter and Rozier. If sports media wasn't completely in the tank with betting companies, this would be a massive, massive black eye to the league.
Sam Kamin11don't bring us into this
Sam Kamin8I can't believe how little money was involved in all of this
Mike Vorkunov3The NBA is reviewing today's indictment and continues to investigate Beasley. "We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and the integrity of our game remains our top priority.” The full quote:
