TSN should change it's name to HSN. Hype Sports Network. This game, Harris. Next game will be Rourke.

I am starting to become really annoyed at how gambling has infected every pro sport broadcast, and especially the CFL.

I don’t like it either. As a casual sports better, who’s had friends who have had problems with gambling is it’s a slippery slope and people don’t often talk about the dangers of addiction when it comes to gambling. Especially young people can be impressionable.

Of all the addictions, both substance and process, gambling has the highest suicide rate.

Yet beer commericals are ok despite the issue with alcoholism with many people ?

Yup and gambling addictions do not work in isolation from other addictions and behavioural dysfunctions.

For sure. When I got into gambling when I was 19 I remember winning a huge amount at the casino playing roulette back to back nights. Only to lose a thousand dollars the third day. I was still up but that was the worst feeling I’ve ever felt in my life and ever since then I look at gambling not as a source of money but as a night out. So if I take out my money before hand and I never take out extra cash if I win great. If I lose I look at it as a night out no different then dinner or drinks. I never want to feel like I did on that day ever again but I’m lucky to learn young.
