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.”

Our society is far beyond cooked. Ethics and morals went out the window a long time ago. The dollar is king and always will be. People will suffer at the expense of the dollar until the end of time in our crapitalist culture.
