Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

First in NBA, but Mbappé spoke out on this as well. Both awesome to see considering how prominent they are in their respective sports.

It should be a stain on your reputation if you promote this shit.

Mbappé has said he won’t do sports gambling or junk food ads. Respect that a lot
