Not quite, when there are betting windows in the stadium, then it would be similar.

It's not an exact comparison, but the NFL would lose a shite ton of viewers of you got rid of betting and fantasy.

No. Just no. I've never bet on an NFL game or participated in fantasy anything, yet I follow the Saints religiously. Everybody I know personally is pretty much the same.

Horse racing, on the other hand... take out gambling and it would dry up in a week. A girlfriend from an earlier life's family owned a few race horses. She continually complained about horse racing being illegal in Texas. Me: "It IS legal. Your dad can race his horses any time he wants." Which was 100% true.
