MLB hypocritically cashes in on gambling

Major League Baseball found itself another massive revenue stream this week when it officially partnered with MGM Resorts International.

MGM Resorts is now the “official gaming partner of MLB” after they gave the league a four-year deal worth $80 million, as the Los Angeles Times and other outlets have reported. In turn, MGM will also have access to “enhanced statistics” from the league and will have a presence at the All-Star Game, World Series, and other major MLB events. MLB becomes the third major professional sports league in the country to cash in on a Supreme Court ruling that could allow sports betting to occur in every state in the nation, not just Nevada.
