Own goal – University of Bristol report lacks credibility
In a blatant agenda-driving pursuit – even by 21st century academic standards – the University of Bristol had 10 people spend the weekend of 16-19 August watching TV and monitoring social media keeping track pf gambling adverts. The result was what they expected – a big increase.
Things took a turn for the bizarre when the university issued a press release to promote their report, Gambling Marketing and the Premier League: The Continued Failure of Industry Self-Regulation. What followed and flowed was arguably one of the most biased pieces of independent academic research ever published. It could have been written before they started the exercise.
Read our article. Read the report. Read the press release and tell us what you think.
