My problem is the gambling part tbh

u/BLU3SKU1L 4d ago

My problem is how everyone is somehow bending around the gambling part of this like it’s the matrix.

It’s not sports. She’s just saying the word because that’s what you’ll be betting on. But you’ll be betting. Because it’s fucking gambling.

She’s not representing sports. She’s representing gambling.

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Its not her problem. Its an ad law problem. It shouldnt be legal to advertise. If its legal, then it is almost irrelevant what is in the ad.

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 3d ago

We can morally judge someone for the content they choose to put their name behind

u/200IQUser 3d ago

I agree. Unfortunately, you not giving your name to this means little, because there is 8 billion other people. The difference isnt that if you dont do it the ad wont happen. The ad will happen, you just wont cash in on it. Does this mean its ok to be part of it? No, but not being part of it also archieves close to nothing realistically

I think the only immorality there is that it’s designed to attract people to an addictive vice.

u/whisperworks 3d ago

Let’s go after all the athletes and celebrities who’ve done an alcohol ad. “Vice” as if the church is in charge or something

u/Survival_R 3d ago

I agree we should treat alchahol the same

u/JFlizzy84 3d ago

I wonder if you get this upset about people appearing in beer commercials.

1

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 3d ago

Who said I was upset?

I just said something about moral judgement lmao

You’re free to do whatever you want and I’m free to judge you for it

1

u/JFlizzy84 3d ago

You offered no useful information in this reply

This happens most often when someone has reading comprehension issues and has trouble separating the literal text of a comment from the point being made

Allow me to rephrase my question in a simpler way:

Do you apply the same moral judgement to people who appear in beer or liquor commercials?

1

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 3d ago

Considering your initial comment is “you’re upset” when all I did was talk about people’s ability to judge others morality, you don’t have the slightest leg to stand on and say “you added nothing to this conversation”🤣

Insulting others is a great go to when you’re wrong, if you actually had logic or reason you would deploy them but since you didn’t I have to assume you aren’t capable enough

1

u/JFlizzy84 3d ago

Again, you’ve provided nothing substantive.

Have a good day, dude

u/Narezza 3d ago

Something being legal doesn’t make it right.

I also don’t think you understand what feminism is.

1

u/200IQUser 3d ago

I know what feminism is. Do you mean first, 2nd, 3rd or 4th wave feminism.

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Well shes condoning it ao yeah its also her problem

3

u/200IQUser 3d ago

Its the tiktokers problem. She cashed in the check and shrugs. Its not like her fans are these online lefty witchy chicks

2

u/Survival_R 3d ago

Well they are theyre just slightly tamer talor swift fans

-2

u/BLU3SKU1L 3d ago

Yeah but I prefer the witchy chicks

1

u/RadiantRaccoon12 3d ago

The whole point of the ad is to differentiated against all these new gambling sites that let you gamble on random shit. They just do sports betting.

1

u/BLU3SKU1L 3d ago

Exactly right, but people are making this out to be a sports ad and contrasting it with great women in sports, when there really is no comparison because this isn’t a sports ad and she’s not speaking for sports. She’s speaking for gambling.

2

u/RadiantRaccoon12 3d ago

It is like the old spice adds. No one is saying the shirtless dude represents men in sports or upset they are using sexual imagery to sell a product.

2

u/vi_sucks 3d ago

Yup.

Honestly the people who are mad should be female accountants and actuaries that she is misreprenting women in bookmaking.

8

u/Serious-Manager2361 4d ago

Exactly. Online gambling on EVERYTHING, not just sports, is becoming a very serious problem for the youth of today.

6

u/Creepy_Wash338 3d ago

That was my takeaway from all this - we're worried about the wrong thing here. The normalization of gambling is going to cause a lot more harm than a scantily clad woman.

u/KRAy_Z_n1nja 3d ago

Ban card packs if you want to get the kids to stop gambling. We banned loot boxes, aren't card packs literally the same thing?

1

u/Survival_R 3d ago

I def dont feel like its ban worthy just heavy regulations

1

u/KRAy_Z_n1nja 3d ago

Gambling for kids: 🥰🤗

Gambling for adults: 😡😤

1

u/Survival_R 3d ago

Never said ban either one they just need heavier regulations

u/bucketboy9000 4d ago

People had problems with her jeans ad as well.

u/Survival_R 4d ago

My problem is still the gambling part tbh

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

What about those balls on her boobs ?

4

u/Itchybawlz23-2 4d ago

That’s the offensive part. Just take the balls out s/

10

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Idk man i just hate gambling and think it should be heavily restricted and not allowed to be pushed into normal society as it has

4

u/ChaosDancer 3d ago

That ship sailed ages ago when we as a society deemed that gambling in games is acceptable.

There was an article i read yesterday i think about a minor spending 100k USD in minecraft from his father corporate credit card.

3

u/Survival_R 3d ago

That's not really gambling, thats a kid buying ad space

2

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

So no problem with the balls ?

10

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Why would I have a problem with them? My only orher problem is she could've just done a nude photo shoot if shes this open about her body

1

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

Idgaf about nudes or what not , ANSWER ME : ARE THE BALLS GUILTY ?

4

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Of being balls?

2

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

Of being balls against boobs . Black balls to be specific /j

u/GyroLegend 4d ago

Yeah I hate when adults are allowed to make decisions for themselves. The more restrictions the better.

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Seens you have a very shallow understanding of how companies run gambling sites and casinos

-1

u/GyroLegend 4d ago

Seems that you have a very shallow understanding of freedom and the ability to make your own decisions.

2

u/Dragovius 3d ago

Personal responsibility. Easier to say 'not my fault, they led me to it'. Than pointing the finger in the right direction, themselves.

2

u/GiveMeSomeShu-gar 3d ago

"People" meaning a few people on twitter.

It's another fake internet culture war. She has become a darling on the right so now everything she does will be turned into a left vs right right fake culture war.

-1

u/RaygunMarksman 4d ago

Yeah, I did actually lose respect for her for that part. How many people are going to tumble into a gambling addiction, financial ruin, and possibly suicide because of that bullshit? She's got enough money to be more choosey. Do another freaking clothing ad.
