"Fairness in school sports"
So you're controlling access to professional trainers? No? Or accounting for developmental stage differences within the same age groups? No? Creating budgets to keep every kid fairly equipped? No? So what is it that defines a fair sporting experience exactly, I wonder?

In all seriousness...was there some particular thing that led to the current gambling explosion in society? Or at least made it possible? Polymarket, draftkings, online poker, other prediction markets...all of this seemed to happen very very fast.
Why did everything become gambling so suddenly?
