[Br0ckford]

Will this be added to play Disney app?

It can still be considered unethical by some people...and I am sure these individuals have reasonable arguments for why they believe this to be true.

Arguments, yes. Reasonable, that's questionable.

Is this an attempt to salvage ESPN . When is WDW installing betting machines in MK?

They already have a gambling machine.
It’s called Genie+

Don't confuse morals and ethics. They aren't the same.

They'll up the incidentals upon check in and give you a $25 credit for your first bet. Chapek would've been proud.

And who gets to define that? You?

Thanks for the tip.

Gambling isn't 'unethical'. It can be considered an 'immoral' practice.

Define what? That morals and ethics are different things? The dictionary defines it.

Gambling isn't 'unethical'.

Thanks for the opinion. I agree.

I can't say without getting a warning. But you know the group I am referring to.

again... why?

Certain sects of the 3 main religions of the world would consider it immoral.

what is opinion based about something literally everyone has been doing whether its legal or not for centuries.....

IMO for some it's not so much the gambling as what was once a family oriented company is now going away from that.

This isn't wdw putting slots in. This is espn, which is adult oriented and they don't own it. They are letting them license it at sports books where kids wont be. I mean there have been slots in Vegas themed to Disney characters for decades.

 

[Trauma]

Anyone else a little shocked that this isn’t a more recognizable big name company?

I was expecting Draft Kings or something similar.

Has ESPN falling that far ?

Gambling is a vice, there is no one who forces you to gamble. I have worked to hard for my money and do not gamble. Same goes for smoking and drinking. Each to their own. Want to spend your dollars on these vices, that is on you. No one is forcing you too. I do have one vice, it is called Disney.

Bingo. I gamble(decided to stop) but don't drink or smoke. As long as those vices don't effect other people then have at it.

We are all so imperfect and life is very difficult and full of horrors. I always tell myself never to judge someone on their shortcoming, since I have no idea the pain they may be in.

It just a shame that most vices are so destructive.
