LDS apostle's comments on sports betting spark debate over sin
Original: Gordon Monson: LDS apostle is right about the price and perils of sports betting, but is it a sin?
A Salt Lake Tribune column by Gordon Monson weighs in on remarks by a Latter-day Saint apostle about the costs and dangers of sports betting, agreeing with his warnings about gambling's harms while questioning whether betting should be framed as a sin. The column is drawing attention as sports wagering expands across the United States and faith communities debate how to respond.
Why now: Sports betting's rapid legalization and the LDS Church's moral stance on gambling are both live issues in Utah.
