I started railing about the corrupting influence that Online Sports Betting has had on Pro AND COLLEGE sports two years ago. It's so blatantly god damned obvious when a Ref, or Refs, start bending the game towards a certain outcome. Last year I started noticing a trend towards drastic reffing changes at halftime and started joking about "Well, guess Vegas called with the payoff.".

It's ruining Sport.
