Scott Galloway uses a World Cup observation as a springboard: watching Japan versus the Netherlands, he was struck by how many ads — he estimated perhaps 50% — were for gambling. John Burn-Murdoch confirms this isn't paranoia: a body of US research shows that state-by-state legalisation of online sports betting led to real and significant financial harm concentrated among the lowest-income households, with some spending everything they had or going into debt. The UK has already begun restricting gambling advertising during domestic football broadcasts in response. More concerning to Burn-Murdoch is the global diffusion: the same pattern that emerged in the US from 2018 to 2019 is now appearing in large parts of the developing world, with gambling revenues representing a significant share of GDP in some African countries. Sport, once a communal experience, has become a delivery mechanism for a habit that destroys lives.
US studies show legalising online sports betting caused significant financial harm to low-income households. That wave is now reaching the developing world — in some African nations, gambling revenues are already a meaningful share of GDP. And every major sporting event is now a delivery vehicle for the habit.
Following the legalisation of online sports betting in the US after 2018, a similar wave has spread to developing countries, with gambling revenues now representing a significant proportion of GDP in some African nations.
The media narrative says young men are radicalising right. The data says the opposite: young men haven't moved. Young women have shifted dramatically to the left, and social media's algorithmic segregation — showing men and women entirely different content — is the most plausible explanation.

At a childhood sleepover, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises on his face and he walked 7 miles home on a dirt road before being picked up by Eric Purvis's mom.
In 1950, about 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty; today it's about 1 in 10, attributable to capitalist economic growth.
From 2021 to 2024, 6 million children fell below the poverty line in the US after the expanded child tax credit expired.
Private domestic infant and international adoptions typically cost $40,000 to $70,000, while foster care adoption is the most affordable route at $0 to $2,000.
Historically, only 40% of men have ever reproduced — Galloway uses this to argue that romantic success requires effort, not a hall pass.
Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
Robby's Hasidic community had no concept of 'too soon' in comedy — if it was funny, you threw it, and if you bombed, your sibling told you immediately.
