It all started when Asher expressed frustration over a New York Times article on sports betting and the pandemic that linked to offshore sportsbooks, many of which have existed for over two decades now.
It’s really outrageous that the @nytimes would quote and link to offshore sports books. Why would they promote these illegal businesses?

A popular pro sports bettor, Gadoon “Spanky” Kryollos, expressed his own outrage....at William Hill and Joe Asher.
This is equivalent to Joe’s Roadside Motel bitching about an article mentioning the Ritz Carlton.

You guys are nothing in the grand scheme of things. You kick anyone out with half a brain and deny it.
@WiiliamHillUS is THE worst bookmaker (dressmaker) in the country. Stay away! https://t.co/MRqjktrBiI
Alexander, in an interview posted Thursday, claimed sites like William Hill allow offshore sportsbooks to exist by employing tactics that force true sports bettors to seek out companies that are not afraid to book bets.
ICYMI, @beatingthebook rained today on his show. He and @BillKrackman eviscerated many.

Here's one of the clips that VSIN probably doesn't want you to see (more to come): pic.twitter.com/AUoNZlxb7f
Spanky tweeted out Thursday that, without offshore sportsbooks, there wouldn't be a legalized betting industry in the US.
The entire regulated sports betting industry in America is powered by the offshore betting markets.

Anyone that says otherwise is either delusional, misinformed, or lying.
Rather than condemn these “criminals” , license them!
The industry would be in a much better place. https://t.co/goWGM3fJx8
After all, it was the offshore gambling sector that showed up en masse in Frankfurt, Kentucky to stop that commonwealth's then Governor, Andry Beshear, from shutting down 130 online gambling businesses back in 2008. Had Beshear succeeded, there likely would not be a legalized sports betting market in the US. Some of the very same advocacy groups that fought Beshear are the very same groups that backed efforts in the States to legalize sports wagering. Notably absent, representatives from William Hill.
