“The Super Bowl is the greatest show on Earth, but it also has an ugly underbelly,” former Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott told USA Today in 2011, “It’s commonly known as the single largest human trafficking incident in the United States.”2 While the now-Texas governor’s claim has been challenged, all major sporting events worldwide carry this dark side.
“At the 2017 Super Bowl, a sting operation called Operation Guardian Angel yielded 94 human trafficking arrests. The operation received 1,560 responses to sex ads placed by law enforcement during the 11-day period.”
