LETTER – Sports betting ads exploit economic struggles

web1_ltr-slater-nbansvgd_1

Amid financial challenges like rising food prices and escalating rents, I’m troubled by the prevalence of sports betting advertisements, including on NHL players’ helmets and during CBC sports coverage.

Big business is preying on those with no money to spare and those desperate for cash. It is shameful to allow this to happen.

Gambling is a complete waste of money and time, especially for the few of us left in the middle class.

Where has common sense gone?
