Abstract

The article comments on how legal sports gambling has shaped sports coverage. It expresses disappointment with the link of sports coverage with wagers which has removed the credibility of sports media outlets. It criticizes the incursion of gambling into sports such as the case of Jontay Porter, former forward for the Toronto Raptors who was banned from the National Basketball Association for life for betting on games he played in and sharing insider information with other gamblers.
