About this sermon
The baseball season kicked off with the Seoul series in Korea between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, but the league is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The game's biggest superstar, Shohei Ohtani, who signed with the Dodgers for $700 million in the offseason, suddenly fired his translator and close friend last Wednesday, accusing him of stealing millions to cover gambling debts. The translator says Ohtani lent him the money, but the story raises questions about Ohtani's complicity and the pervasiveness of gambling in sports. Long time sports agent and president of Achilles PR, Doug Eldridge, tells us more about this story and what industry insiders are saying. If Ohtani is found guilty or complicit in all of this, Eldridge discusses what happens to him and how much baseball wants to protect him. The sports industry is saturated with gambling sponsorships. Eldridge explains whether it is any surprise these issues are happening with players. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
