   It was funny a few years ago when the English Premier League was all moralistic, having players “take the knee” before matches in solidarity with social justice, meanwhile all the stadiums and team shirts and television broadcasts were abound with online gambling ads and sponsorships.

      How are those things in anyway related? The morality around gambling is very debatable. The morality around racism is not.

         They're pretending to care about social problems while causing and encouraging social problems.

         The morality around "racism" however is.

         Ah yes now that I think about it, I remember the nuns in my neighbourhood, between feeding the poor and preaching love and inclusion, would hand out casino memberships and bet coupons to the local youths.
