CMV: Excessive sports betting ads demand harsher oversight

Sports betting advertisements infiltrate events, exploiting vulnerable citizens and fostering addiction. High rates of domestic issues and bankruptcies follow. Is stricter regulation of these ads justified?

Hey everyone, I’m really torn on this topic. Sure, sports betting ads can get pretty invasive, and it’s tough watching vulnerable folks get caught up in them. At the same time, I wonder if a total clampdown on such ads is really the best fix. I mean, maybe there’s a way to add more honest, upfront warnings and some better education about gambling risks rather than just stricter rules. A balanced approach might be the key—protecting those who might be at risk without wiping out the fun element for others. It feels like there’s room for smart regulation that doesn’t turn into an overbearing oversight. Curious to hear what others think! :slightly_smiling_face:
