Because gambling is a normalized, built-in part of sports broadcasts. There's no mention of age limits, addiction, drawbacks, etc. I watch the UFC and it's not even a commercial but part of the actual show. Odds, favorites, sponsor messages, etc. are built right into the broadcast.

I don't think gambling is the worst thing out there but it's not a net plus for society and overall cheapens sports.
