Rule breaking is part of the game in sports. Players will, for example, take a penalty if it is worth it. Hockey has fights, basketball has fouls as a resource that gets expended over the course of the game.

Are you saying irl people don’t break the law or go against other conventions when they think it’s worth it?

  • It’s just a game, so there’s no real moral component and the stakes are much lower generally.

    • I can easily make a case that professional sports at the highest level (NHL, NBA, PL, etc) are much higher stakes than most peoples' jobs at least in $ dimension
