Wil Leitch on new technology and the old specter of the Black Sox.
There's another related danger to sports. When I was in high school I once drank a pint of blackberry brandy in one gulp. Of course I got violently sick. Haven't been able to drink blackberry brandy since. Even the smell makes me nauseous. There's many, many people in danger off making the easily available and highly addictive sports betting their equivalent to blackberry brandy.
These people may abandon sports in disgust the way I've avoided blackberry brandy for decades.
