FSD will be BSD
FSD will be BSD
Sinclair announced that beginning baseball season it will be renaming the RSN to Bally Sports Network after Bally’s bought the naming rights. I’m guessing that around the game broadcasts there will be a lot of gambling content, poker and sports betting shows.

Ick.So sick of the gambling ads. I guess more poker shit.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Gambling content is welcome as sports betting becomes legal in more states, but watching people play poker on TV is so 2008.

Re: FSD will be BSD
This may be big news in the world of pro-sport websites that appear to all have announced this a few hours ago, but it was no big secret.
The name change was announced publicly in November 2020. See
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/sinclai ... ly-sports/
Regarding professional sports agreeing to be be carried on networks under the banner of a sports betting company, I find this very inconsistent.
I am old enough to remember that in 1963 two very prominent NFL players, Alex Karras and Paul Hornug, were forced to sit out one-year of play in the NFL because they were discovered to have made bets on professional sports games.

I also remember that 32-years ago in 1989 Pete Rose was banned from professional baseball over betting and later banned from the Baseball Hall of Fame:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rose
Apparently betting on sport event outcomes is a habitual problem for professional athletes. The NHL player Evander Kane recently declared bankruptcy and listed debts of $26.8-million despite having earned $53-million over his career, that is, he apparently spent or borrowed $79-million more than his income since becoming a professional athlete.

ASIDE: many years ago around c.1991 I attended a very fancy banquet held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dearborn to "roast" and to honor Sparky Anderson, manager of the Detroit Tigers. The banquet was recorded and edited to become a television show. It was late in the evening when Sparky finally took the podium to offer some remarks, and it was apparent he had consumed a few beverages. Sparky spoke for more than ten minutes, and he spoke mostly with great passion about the injustice done to Pete Rose by being banned from the Hall of Fame over betting. It was somewhat of a non-sequitur response from Sparky to all the prior remarks, and I wondered how the television show would handle his choice of subject. When the show aired, Sparky's remarks were carefully edited and reduced to about 90-seconds, and all trace of Pete Rose (or "Peter Rose" as Sparky always called him) were gone. Perhaps indicative of more hypocrisy regarding sport betting by professional athletes and their broadcast affiliates.

Re: FSD will be BSD
It's the end of an era in a way as it used the Fox Branding for nearly 25 years. It's going to be weird to have the channel use a different name.

Re: FSD will be BSD
Why didn't Bally's just put the Indians onto Bally's Ohio why call it Bally's Great Lakes, if they wanted to use the great lakes they should've used it for MI just saying, is all.

Probably because Bally's Great Lakes targets the Cleveland area. Bally's Ohio will be more Columbus, Cincinnati, etc.
Re: FSD will be BSD
Am I the only person who hears Bally’s and thinks of Bally’s Total Fitness?
