After being bombarded with sports betting ads, I started wondering about the explosion of sports betting.
My @nytimes colleagues & I decided to investigate.
Today, we are publishing several stories on the fastest expansion of gambling in US history. https://t.co/egjMqPncVS
The past two weeks suggest that even with leftist leaders occupying presidential palaces in the vast majority of countries in Latin America, broader policy coordination and regional integration will not come easily. https://t.co/9z0TWbvozv via @amerquarterly
An NBA team in Mexico City? @MarcJSpears says expansion is a real option 👀
