Chris Boucher thinks legalized sports gambling is making fan criticism significantly worse
, revealing he’s received plenty of hate-fuelled criticism via social media. It is something he feels has worsened since sports betting became legal in Ontario last April.
“It's just people want to put you in trouble,” Boucher said. “People want you to do what they want and what they see you for. And that's the issue. And the betting is not going to make it better now with the parlays and all that. Boucher said the fan was upset because he only received five points from the 6-foot-9 forward when he needed 10 to cash his bet.With these incidents on the rise league-wide, NBA players are becoming less inclined to interact with basketball fans at arenas in fear of receiving backlash in a public setting. Though that doesn’t apply to all 30 fan bases, it happens far more often than it should.
“Do I really want to talk to you now? Because if I score eight, you're going to flame my Twitter, my Instagram, and everything.”
