Channel 4 documentary about football's gambling addiction shocked football fans. During a Premier League match between Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, gambling logos appeared over 700 times.
Government leaders are calling for a radical re-think of the relationship between betting and sport. Ruth Davidson is leading the way with this. She believes that football's relationship with the gambling industry is a “parasite that is taking over the host”.
Gambling logos are very common during football matches. The gambling industry contributes more than 100 million AUD to football clubs and another 200 million to broadcasters. Many MPs are working to prevent gambling logos from appearing on the television. If gambling companies were not allowed to sponsor football teams, they would have to find new sponsors.
