I think we can all also agree that sports gambling leads us to dehumanize sports teams and athletes as well, much like fantasy football does. We start to see athletes and teams as means to an end rather than human beings or a conglomerate of human beings. I have been personally disgusted at myself the multiple times I see news that a player suffered an injury, sometimes a horrible injury, and my first thought isn’t “are they okay?” My first thought is, terribly, “damn, he’s on my fantasy team,” or “I just lost my bet or parlay.”

In the UK, there is this guy called Ivan Toney, who plays for the England soccer team, who was banned for 9 months for betting on his own team.
Gambling is extremely pervasive in the UK.
