Even assuming that one buys the addiction/disease theory of gambling (I don't, BTW), it does not excuse lawbreaking. The jails are full of druggies rotting away for decades. In baseball terms, Rose has to be punished for breaking the #1 law of the sport. Even if Rose was compelled to gamble, he did not have to gamble on baseball; he had a million other ways to feed his monkey (yes, I have been reading Naked Lunch). He bet on baseball because he thought he had an edge to bet on baseball. |
