In light of a bit of misunderstandings on the socials re: the industry, recently; thought to bring this from the archives from 9 years ago. Things looked bright. Unfortunately, COVID happened 2 years later, and we may still be having the same convos. Maybe need more of these 🤔

I am seeing more and more conversation taking place about the the threat the gambling industry is to our communities. So I am posting my conversation with Trevor about this issue again.
Again, I urge you to listen to this, especially if you’re struggling with gambling. Trevor and I spoke about online sports betting. Some of you know I lost my brother to suicide because of his addiction to it. Without me knowing, Trevor stopped accepting betting companies as advertisers on his podcast. In this clip, he and Ryan (who’s off screen) make some very sharp points about how these companies operate and the sneaky, manipulative tricks they use to get people to spend all their money.
After my brother took his life, his therapist called me and said of all addictions, gambling is the most likely to lead to suicide.
It destroys families, lives and obliterates futures.
I would like heavier and more regulation when it comes to sports betting when it comes to advertising, accessibility and sponsorship. People are not saving money, not paying school fees etc, because of gambling. The government is simply not doing enough to curb this pandemic.

Gabrielle Union coming out to say the only reason she went 50/50 with Dwayne was just a trauma response because the alternative meant being vulnerable enough to trust someone with a 100% of everything - is the realest thing I’ve heard in a while
