Ohio gaming regulators discuss cracking down on sports bettors who attack college athletes over gambling losses.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — As the Ohio Casino Control Commission gathered for their first meeting after the launch of legalized sports betting in the state on New Year's Day, Executive Director Matt Schuler found himself addressing an issue not on the agenda.
"It sickens me," said Coach Grant."I'm just asking all of the Flyers fans just to understand we're dealing with 18, 21, 22-year-olds and this is about them," he said."They have families. They don't deserve that, mental health is real.""These are kids that are out playing a game," Schuler told commission members reminding them that they may not have the authority to control free speech but they can control who can bet in the state.
"We obviously don't have control over people's behavior but we do have control over what venues they can choose to participate," Schuler said.
