Betting lines have been on the sports page of my local paper for decades. When it became legal the big money gambling companies were inevitably going to put up lots and lots of money to associate themselves with major league sports. The wink and a nod to gambling in the past will seem quaint when the full out marketing blitz takes over live sports broadcasts. When cannabis is legalized nationally I expect to see a similar media saturation with advertising for product, edibles, and paraphernalia. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
