There is the Disney brand and the Disney company. They aren't really the same thing. Disney the company owns ESPN, for example. They have TV stations, radio stations, all kinds of things which you wouldn't associate with the Disney brand. I highly doubt they intend to pollute children/families with sports betting. They intend to use it for their sports businesses like ESPN.

Disney can brew an entire generation of children values with its animation movies, then upsell them when they become adults- in fact that is Disney+’s strategy. https://insidethemagic.net/2020/11/disney-plus-star-mature-content-rwb1/ https://insidethemagic.net/2020/11/disney-plus-star-mature-c...
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoYour points may be valid. I was making a different point - there is a legal entity at the top which is really just a holding company akin to Berkshire Hathaway. Inside that entity there are a number of completely different businesses. Disney (the thing humans think of when you say Disney) is one of them. ESPN is another. ABC is another. You can see an overview here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company Some of them broadly work together strategically. Some do not.
