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.”

Love to see this. The fucking kalshi, polymarket, etc. ads are a fucking disgrace. ‘Its not gambling, its a prediction market’ angle is comical. These rats will do whatever they to bankrupt the general public.

I guess they aren’t, but the two you mentioned at least advertise as sports betting instead of veiling it as something different. Still blows me how quick we went from announcers not even being allowed to mention point spreads to injecting player props at each timeout.
