Other sports have at least acknowledged the gambling aspect while trying to keep players and officials out of it.

Eff it, I'm getting out my Hartford Jai Ali glasses and displaying those instead of baseball stuff.

Always follow the money. That’s Business

The gambling money, the growing market, the tourist market

A’s can only do better than what it has just hope they then invest some of the new money when it comes into players to be more competitive
