SLICES: Sports Gambling A Plague Upon Our Houses

Scott Sigler Slices

Show Notes

In this episode of SLICES, we’re talking about twenty-two-year-old French basketball superstar Victor Wembanyama.

And a decision he made that has absolutely nothing to do with scoring baskets.

Wembanyama recently told reporters he would never accept a sponsorship deal promoting a sports gambling company.

His exact words were: “Absolutely not. I will never do that.”

Let’s get into it.
