Are you talking about a couple of Italian teams being demoted for match fixing? That's not gambling buddy. And no league got shut down.

so you are referencing somehting you know nothing about, and are completely wrong.

to educate you:

1. no league was shut down
a. it was italy
2. players were not gambling
a. it was based upon the choosing of referees

that was still a huge scandal and the biggest team in Italy, Juventus (one of the most stacked teams in the world) got demoted. But that is a far far cry from a top three league being shut down for players gambling.
