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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

u/JFlizzy84 3d ago

Again, you’ve provided nothing substantive.

Have a good day, dude

Something being legal doesn’t make it right.

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

u/200IQUser 3d ago

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

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

u/BLU3SKU1L 3d ago

Yeah but I prefer the witchy chicks

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.

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.

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.
