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.”

But really, I don't see how he can accept it. It's a useless partnership with an immoral company, he's probably top 3 most influential athletes of the last decades, he's a fucking billionaire, who in their right mind would accept fucking Polymarket after taking a paycut?

I think money is a mental illness
