The Blazers coach was indicted along with many others in a betting scandal. I don't totally blame Chauncey as all the sports leagues have been promoting gambling for years. They look the other way on on gambling or drugs until it hurts their bottom line and this has been going on since the nineteenth century.
I'll probably still watch sports, but won't be rooting for any one team. You don't know anymore who is tanking. I will now just watch and enjoy great plays, no matter what team. If Mariners or Seahawks win, great, but if they don't I won't lose sleep over it. I kind of do it now anyway. The other team makes a great play and I find myself cheering.
And I won't pay to see a high level game in-person or on TV. I'm going to see Portland State in November and sometimes I go to Western Oregon games.
Gambling is crazy business, but I don't have to be party to it.
