"We don’t benefit from any of the profits or anything like that, but we’ve got to deal with a lot of the extra negativity and scrutiny behind all the gambling stuff. And then on top of that, it creates more integrity issues, etc. So I’m not sure what the answer is going forward, but definitely something that people have got to spend more time having conversations about.”
I can’t believe this guy is considered to be intelligent.

The guy with one of the largest contracts in league history($285m/5yrs) and Player’s Union VP says they don’t benefit from all the extra revenue they get from the 50/50 split. The latest CBA even allows them to own less than 1% of sports betting company.

Even if they got more money that doesn’t make any of this gambling stuff okay.
Are you struggling with English or basic math.
The gambling revenue has absolutely increased league revenues aside from players like Lebron outright being sponsored by Draftkings. League revenue determines the salary cap, the guy making Supermax/35% of the cap said that.
I really don’t get this logic of the guy being some clueless victim at the same time a fountain wisdom comes from aside from Trump level idolization.
. First of all, are you just having a bad week or something? You’re really overdoing this “everyone whose opinion I don’t like is stսpіd” bit. Seems like you’re clinging to that one line about them not benefiting and ignoring the context of everything else he said, so you can make the league’s case that players should just take the money and shut up about all the other stuff that comes with the gambling deals (like being harassed about parlays), and that if he has any other concerns about it, he must be a іdіоt.
