Another story about athletes involved in sports betting. An athlete, Jontay Porter with Toronto Raptors (NBA basketball) was given a lifetime ban after the NBA investigated and found that he was involved in several instances of gambling on his team's games, providing insider information to bettors, and possibly manipulating his availability in games to affect betting outcomes.
As sports betting continues to become more accessible and prevalent in our society, many issues around sports betting may become more commonplace, and do deserve cause for concern for the integrity of sports.
