I don’t hate him for getting the bag, I just hate that sports are essentially dead.
I mean, it’s not like sports gambling is new, but we could at least pretend it wasn’t an issue. Now we’re getting multiple $50 million ads in the super bowl and we’re supposed to pretend they don’t have a vested interest in any given moment on the field / court?
What a crybaby article, comparing stock ownership to betting on games. That guy is probably salty because he was one of those idiots who thought Giannis would go to the Warriors or some dumb team like that.
Giannis feels kind of dirty now. Not the nice family man image he been putting out all these years.
Thank you for your opinion, Substack writer Eric Mintzner.

I’m truly disappointed by this and I just don’t know what else to say because who cares
I don’t think Giannis is a sleaze intentionally manipulating things, but I do think both (a) Kalshi is evil, and (b) it’s a pretty obvious conflict of interest. It’s really disappointing to Giannis involved in this.
We can all thank Adam Silver and his 2014, “Legalize and Regulate Sports Betting” op-ed in the NYT. He helped usher in this era of sports gambling. He’s way more evil than his docile personality suggests.
I don’t understand why people struggle to say this but you can hate people for “getting the bag” especially when they already have several generation’s worth of bags. Past poverty and the existence of wealthier people does not justify endlessly chasing more and more greed. Despite the insidious global culture of chase until you’re dead, it is in fact possible to stop and be satisfied.
He just pumped and dumped his trade futures by putting out bad info about wanting to be traded knowing he wasn’t going anywhere, then immediately after announces a smallownership stake in kalshi lol. Same shit every crypto thief and current politician is doing.
Man you could’ve just asked demanded a trade instead of partnering with Kalshi and I’d brush it off
