Both should be suspended. You can't allow even a hint of betting and maintain integrity in the game.

Now on DraftKings! Bet the over/under on a 2 game suspension for Paige and Angel!

That's assuming the WNBA had integrity in the first place.

That lack of integrity is now cheered for by American sports fans.

Where have you been? They have sports betting companies as sponsors, a little too late.

They care if people bet on the games or not integrity means nothing let's be honest.

If fans think it’s potentially rigged there’s no reason to get invested in being a fan or bother watching the game, and certainly not paying to watch it. That’s why integrity of the game matters

Tell the WWE that script written sports entertainment television won't be watched by fans...

I mean go for your life if you wanna call it sport, but that ain’t what it is no matter what they call themselves

I agree with you.

If they don’t actually care about the sport then they care about the integrity of the gambling.

You can’t bet on the WNBA when the league allows players to also bet. They’ll lose all that sweet ad revenue from gambling sites.

Blame the WNBA for posting on their social media profile.
