About this sermon
The second week of the National Football League season continues on Sunday and one writer notes that amid the excitement in the US is a wave of references to sports gambling. Writing in Compact Magazine, Christopher Caldwell says in part, "The American gaming association says $58 billion was wagered on sports last year. Such sums are putting massive pressure on sports, politics and even journalism." Columnist with Compact Magazine and Contributing Editor at the Claremont Review of Books, Christopher Caldwell, suggests there are 2 major problems with sports gambling in the US. The first is the gambling establishment which takes a cut of the winnings. He takes us through this process. The second major problem is that gambling is addictive. Caldwell shares what evidence he found that people can become addicted to gambling. He discusses whether anything is being done to counter this massive increase in the availability of sports gambling. Caldwell explains whether there is a problem in other countries as well and where he sees this going. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
