The Premier League has suggested phasing out front-of-shirt sponsorship by gambling companies over the next few years

but allow them to retain an indefinite presence on teams' shirt-sleeves, under proposals presented to ministers.

One Whitehall source said the premise of the proposal was that shirt-sleeves were less visible and therefore less valuable than the space on the front of teams' shirts.

Not before time. They're just as toxic as cigarette advertising

Stop the TV ads, especially those with ex-sportsmen or women in 😒 They're profiting from the misery of gambling addiction... 😒 As an ex-bookie from years ago, at least when the bookies closed, that was it, but in these days of 24/7 Internet, there's no let up for gamblers 😒😕

'Over the next few years' 🤣🤣

It should be banned outright immediately but they won't as there is too much 💸 💰 to be earned from it completely disregarding the harm it can/does do.

Do it now

No need to ... just let the contracts run out and ban clubs from renewing them.

Yeah because looking at a shit sponsor makes me wanna gamble. ❄️ Society again or is it really because of Islamic players 🤔🤔🤔

How about phasing out taking the knee?

All betting/gambling advertising should be removed from them and TV

Get rid of all shirt sponsorship in the Premier League. When American sports think its one step too far towards commercialism you should probably stop and think.

They absolutely should. Many lives are being destroyed, particularly in African countries where oversight and regulations of these gambling companies are non-existent. The premier league should not promote gambling.

And stadium naming, general advertising hoardings, back of shirt/sleeve sponsors, and actual broadcast media advertising between matches being broadcast please.

Can I put a bet on this not happening?

This is so dumb. All the games are fixed.
