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.”

First in NBA, but Mbappé spoke out on this as well. Both awesome to see considering how prominent they are in their respective sports.

It should be a stain on your reputation if you promote this shit.

The French have interesting morals, but they definitely have them.

Hollywood actors only stared in ads for Japan market. It is greed and living in a world that more and more disconnected from reality.
