Neymar lost €1m (£900,000) in just an hour of online casino as he streamed it live on his Twitch channel. The Twitter post reads that "Crying at first, he then laughs, remembering it's just a week's pay!" I was very livid reading this and seeing screenshots of his reaction. Because it is very deceitful.
Imagine a gambling who may have lost thousands of dollars today reading this. Instead of feeling bad or remorseful and looking for a way to change, this may even fuel his addiction the more. Sadly, he won't remember that he is not like Neymar who earns £3.2m-per-month.
These celebrities and public figures should be fined for trying to glorify gambling without stating the negative aspects when it is over done.
I find it indecent. Not that I am against wealth, or that this footballer is a gambler.
What is indecent is to broadcast such losses, it should remains private.
It is neither a good example, nor a mentality that I would be happy to see broadcast, to consider a loss of 1 million euros as negligible.
It is almost offensive to the billions of people who live on less than 400 euros per month on Earth.
That he does it, good for him, but that he broadcasts it, that is a shame. We clearly don't all have the same problems, let alone those of this madman Neymar.
