   I’m not a fan of a gambling organization doing television, but if they show the wolves games like the good ole days, I’m all for it.

   Ah man, not great. I thought I heard that Amazon had purchased these networks and I was excited about that because, while Amazon has it’s own faults, at least they have a functional streaming video platform.

   Plus, this feels like overreach and conflict of interest for Fan Duel. Feels kinda gross to have a sport book in charge of local broadcasts.

   So, complete integration of gambling and corruption.

   Sounds great!

   Ballys is a casino company. Stop clutching your pearls. Just get the team back on tv.

   Sports betting is a disease

    I can’t believe I’d actually prefer Amazon over this. Though as an Amazon stock holder and Prime member, I’m part of the problem.
