Is D&D packed with ads every 15 seconds? Are there D&D betting apps D&D enjoyers are pushed to gamble with? Do DMs start sessions jerking off the US military with giant flags and the burger national anthem?
Please don't give WotC more fucking ideas
On a more serious level I think people are confusing sports (exercise based games) with sports (organised large scale leagues) that's muddying the waters. Enjoying a kickabout with your mates is no worse than playing D&D with them, it's once you've got fanbases that the problems develop - just look at how ads are working into many D&D shows.
If you can bet on WWE matches, you should be able to bet on D&D campaigns
Is there a Game of Thrones expansion for basketball? I don't like sports leagues generally, but let's not kid ourselves.
True. Capitalism ruins everything it touches, and Wizards of the Coast is easily the worst offender.
