New York Giants kicker Graham Gano, who joined the NFL in 2009, has experienced a significant increase in death threats and hateful messages since sports betting became widely legalized in 2018. He reports receiving weekly threats, including wishes for cancer, from individuals upset over his kicks affecting their wagers. Gano has been battling multiple injuries this season and is likely to miss Sunday's game due to a neck issue, having not practiced this week. Younghoe Koo is being prepared to kick in his place against Chicago. Gano expressed his frustration with the constant inability to play and the dehumanizing impact of sports wagering on players.
