Well, one involves two teams of consenting players involved in a game.
The other involves the brutal deaths and suffering of exponentially more innocent people than those who want to be involved.
- margalabargala 6mo agoNo, that's the fundamental difference between a sports event and a war. Which is obvious and not what was asked. The question was, what if any is the fundamental difference between betting on a sports event vs a war?

- margalabargala 6mo agoThen your attempted explanation is wrong. Plenty of people have been murdered over sports betting. It's more than your reductive "oh it's just consenting players".
- devmor 6mo agoI did not say "people have been murdered", I was very clear and concise in my wording. If you are going to ask a question to argue it, do not strawman people who reply to you.
- margalabargala 6mo agoI know you didn't. I pointed out that people have been murdered over sports betting, thus closing the morality gap between sports betting and war betting. Just because sports and war are morally different doesn't mean "$verb about sports" and "$verb about war" are morally different. E.g. "reading". You're 1 for 3 on comment reading comprehension here so I don't think we should continue. Even if you said you agreed with me there's no way for me to know what you think you're agreeing with.
