What’s up with all these black male celebrities promoting sports gambling websites?

[I Really Mean It]

whether they’re starring stephen a smith, kevin hart, or jamie foxx, i’ve seen an unusually high number of online ads for sports gambling on twitter and reddit.

it’s almost as if they’re trying to make black men the face of financial irresponsibility and degeneracy.

are smith, hart and foxx so desperate for money that they need to push this shyt?

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

That one c00n gotta recoup all them hospital bills

The companies know what will get them the most return for their advertising dollars.

Ex…. Think about the last time you seen a McDonalds commercial with country music playing in the background….. probably not since the 80s. But I bet you recent came across a McDonald’s add with some neo soul playing.

They peddle bs to our community.

Lmao, it's not just black men. Pretty much any popular male YouTuber has one of them as a sponsor

It's almost like you forgot all the white celebrities that got in trouble over NFTs, FTX, Dogecoin, etc etc. the ones that literally moved over to kick to gamble on stream. The huge shyt with Logan Paul, the other huge incident with save the kids, etc etc.

I laid out very specific examples.

I'm not surprised you ignored all context of what I'm saying and my first sentence to rush to post something that I'm obviously not doing

But lmao at trying to act like they're not both gambling or able to be manipulated or easy to take advantage of the financially irresponsible or degeneracy at a certain level

Also lmao at making this thread, ignoring all of the context of my post including me saying a lot of white people have them as sponsors too just to think you're getting something off with this post

Black males are the targets and also the cohort that will pay the highest price falling into the trap of sports betting.

It's nasty.

 

[itsyoung!!]

the states that have the highest black population you cant even use the sites the actors you used as examples are advertising.. Cant sports bet (online OR in casinos) in Texas, Georgia, California, etc...

and less than half the states besides those only allow sports bet in person..

You will lose money on both so what’s the difference?

 

[Da_Eggman]

Obviously a huge market for it

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I lost $4000 sports betting over the past year.

Streamers and YouTubers are also promoting it. I think Kicks entire platform is built off gambling.
