That whole story is very sad...
On the one hand, everyone, that has earned their money through hard mental/physical labor without harming anyone, and paid taxes on these earnings, has the right to spend as her/his sees fit. That's pretty OK.
On the other hand, there is an additional point of view possible.
Anyone who comes from a not-so-rich place somewhere on Earth has the chance to look at poverty and misery from a very close angle. If someone thinks about these, there is a chance one day that person to become a very valuable specialist in her/his professional field, taking into account the value of every penny earned/spent.
Especially for soccer, why are many talented professionals from poor countries or countries with bad Gini Ratios, etc.?
Do you remember Steven Pienaar? Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax, Everton, Borussia Dortmund. Regretfully, his childhood in Joburg (RSA) is surrounded by flying bullets, poverty, etc. That person knows the value of every penny earned, every achievement in life...
If someone reads ancient philosophy, she/he is likely to develop many humanitarian ideas. Even every single buck to be spent on every single investment in the markets will be considered before the investment. In some countries, a few tens of bucks can save a life...
I wonder what the effect would be if at least some amount of dollars for the casino (-EV) were spent on helping a helpless sick child or poor old person or something else. For example, I know that in one particular miserable EU country, the junta and corruption have robbed almost everything, not to mention causing broken health services for children and poverty for the elderly people, it's a daily fact of life there, hidden from the outside eyes.

Youtube took down the video. Wondering in what ground.
Maybe the electorate has some responsibilities too. The ballot is stronger than the bullet, as Lincoln puts it.

Re: Video Clips
That attitude of Neymar is not very different from what many people show in our societies today. It's the classic attitude of social media. What others think of you is more important than what you think of yourself. We must be very careful with our ego because it can consume us without us even realizing it. I think that if our ancestors saw the current world, they would return to their graves quickly. We should recover our sanity, humility, and some of the values that our predecessors had. Undoubtedly, we must also recover philosophy and start looking more inwardly and less towards the exterior. Anyway, it's a messed up world...
