Not in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
As a "sport", it has a big lobby to keep it running, specifically the betting companies, who will defend it with every legal (and financial) weapon they can use. Money money money.
Like the meat/fish/milk/egg industry is starting to lose credibility (both morally and health-wise), their time will come too. It will just take time. There's a lot to be changed, it just takes some time, years, decades, but the penny will drop.
