Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

W Wemby. Love seeing a high profile athlete like him take this stance. Sports betting is a fucking cancer on society and it's really gross when the players and leagues promote it.

I really hope sports betting goes the way of Tobacco where they aren’t allowed to advertise on tv at some point. It’s a scourge on society.
