"Sports does not occur in the real world"

That's a new one for me today.

    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.

    That's certainly one way to misinterpret what I said.
