Issue: NC sports are now overwhelmed with gambling promotions. Even children are exposed, increasing the risk of addiction. Is legal sports betting truly worth these alarming consequences?
in my experience, the debate around legalizing sports wagering in nc isn’t as black and white as some make it seem. the gamble has provided a considerable source of revenue that supports public initiatives which help mitigate some risks. however, i agree that the unchecked promotion to youth and vulnerable groups remains a concern. there should be a strong oversight to ensure that exposure to betting isn’t inadvertently normalized. finding a working balance could be more flexible than a complete reversal of the decision.
