FIFA 2026, Women in Poker, and Pete Rose Lifetime Ban Lifted | Ep. 47
What happens when passion turns toxic? Apparently, we get a nation of sports fans who think loyalty means hurling insults—and sometimes objects—at anyone in the wrong jersey. In New York, the so-called "sophisticated" fans prefer verbal assaults over actual celebration, while New York's NBA spectators seem to think abusing players is part of the ticket price. Meanwhile, legalized gambling and a little social polarization have turned sporting events into emotional pressure cookers. The poker world isn’t doing much better: with women making up a generous 3–5% of players, it's clear the tables are still reserved for those who enjoy casual misogyny with their chips. But hey, who needs inclusivity when you’ve got a solid boys’ club vibe? Even outside these arenas, the trend continues—drivers leaning on their horns like it’s a competitive sport, collectors proudly amassing hundreds of VHS copies of The Mummy, and public officials using international events as a chance to tell visitors not to get too comfortable. Whether we’re spectating, gambling, or idling at a red light, basic civility seems to be on an extended vacation. But by all means, keep honking—because clearly, that’s how traffic works.Support the showGambling Mad with Norman Chad is written by Norman Chad and ghost written by...Norman Chad.
