What is wrong with this country?!! Americans love to bet on sports, especially football! Why not let them to do so! State would get extra tax revenue! Win-win... Betting on sports is not the same than sitting behind a slot machine in some casino and they are building casinos everywhere corrupting local communities . How the hell are casinos so good and betting on sports so bad!?? Explain it to me as if I was 6 years old please!
It's a same story with pot. Cops in NYC arresting guys for pot, taking away their stuff and smoke it themselves! It is illegal, half of NYC smokes it anyway! What happened in Colorado? Now it is legal. Who ever smoked before , continues smoking, who did not, does not smoke it . State gets some 100 million /year tax money to build schools, roads... whatever...
It is endless hide and seek game! Some huge institutions with fat wallets are against it - either it's pharmacy company of NFL or somebody else presenting BS arguments that are obviously backed by their own financial interest! So truth gets bended and some idiot uncles are telling to adult taxpayer what is and what is not good for him!
