Déjà Bru · 09-22-2021, 10:38 AM

Reading all these good comments, I feel the need to clarify: Ideally, gambling and Pete Rose should be nowhere near Major League Baseball. But given MLB's embrace of gambling, it no longer makes sense to ban Rose from the game.

Side question, should anyone wish to tackle it: Why do professional sports accept and promote gambling on their results? How does MLB, for example, make money from gambling?

I just realized that I don't know the answers to these questions.
