‘Dehumanizing, disgusting, and dangerous’: Polymarket, athlete sponsors
face criticism for market on Cornell rape case

「非人化、令人作嘔，而且危險」：
Polymarket 與運動員贊助商因針對康乃爾大學性侵案件開設投注市場而遭到批評

Polymarket and its athlete endorsers, which include LeBron James, Derek
Jeter, Eli Manning, Sue Bird, Reggie Bush and Richard Sherman, are facing
heavy criticism for a market on the company's international platform that
allows its users to bet on whether any of the seven male defendants accused
of raping a Cornell student will be charged with a felony sex crime.

The market, not available on its U.S. app, centers around a civil lawsuit
filed on September 16 by a Jane Doe plaintiff who claims she was drugged and
gang-raped in 2024, and was first made available Sept. 30 and, as of early
Monday afternoon, had $451,633 in volume, with "traders" placing a roughly
28% chance on the market resolving to "yes" by Jan. 31, 2027, the date when
the market will close.

"This is dehumanizing, disgusting, and dangerous," attorney Cheyenne Hunt
wrote on Instagram about the market. "To the celebrity ambassadors for
Polymarket, do you really want to be associated with this?"

Hunt was far from the only one to weigh in.

I Have The Right To, a nonprofit advocacy organization focused on sexual
assault, also weighed in on Instagram, asking, "What kind of culture looks at
sexual violence and sees an opportunity for profit?"

"This is rape culture. And it should disturb every single one of us," the
post reads. "But Polymarket isn't the only one that deserves to be called
out. Major celebrities have helped promote the platform, lending their names,
influence, and credibility to the company."

LeBron James is reported to be getting paid $15 million a year to promote the
prediction market.

"Markets bring better, unbiased information about important events, in
contrast to the disinformation we're all drowning in, which too often leaves
the public misled and disillusioned to the point of apathy," A Polymarket
spokesperson told Front Office Sports. "This case, and sexual assault on
college campuses more broadly, are deeply important issues, and markets bring
objective, data-driven insight into how a matter like this is moving through
the legal system, on a topic that deserves far more transparency and honest
attention."

Polymarket 及其代言運動員，包括 LeBron James（勒布朗・詹姆斯）、
Derek Jeter（德瑞克・基特）、Eli Manning（伊萊・曼寧）、Sue Bird（蘇・柏德）、
Reggie Bush（雷吉・布希）和 Richard Sherman（理查・謝爾曼），
目前正面臨強烈批評。

爭議源自 Polymarket 國際版平台推出的一項預測市場，讓使用者投注：

被控於康乃爾大學性侵一名女學生的七名男性被告之中，
是否會有任何一人遭到刑事起訴，且罪名屬於重罪級別的性犯罪。

這項市場並未在 Polymarket 美國版 App 上架，而是以一宗民事訴訟為背景。

該訴訟於 9 月 16 日提起，原告以 Jane Doe（匿名女性原告）為名，聲稱自己在
 2024 年遭人下藥，並遭到多人輪流性侵。

這項預測市場於 9 月 30 日首次開放。截至週一下午稍早，
交易總額已達 451,633 美元。

參與交易的「交易者」（traders）估計，截至 2027 年 1 月 31 日市場結算截止日，
該事件發生的機率約為 28%，也就是市場最終以「是」（Yes）
作為結算結果的機率約為 28%。

律師 Cheyenne Hunt 在 Instagram 上針對這項市場發表批評：

「這是在剝奪人的尊嚴、令人作嘔，而且非常危險。」

她接著向 Polymarket 的名人代言人喊話：「你們真的想跟這種事情扯上關係嗎？」

Hunt 並非唯一一位出面批評的人。

名為 I Have The Right To 的非營利倡議組織，專門關注性侵害議題，
也在 Instagram 上發表意見，並提出質疑：



這件事理應讓我們每一個人都感到不安。」「但值得被公開譴責的，

不只有 Polymarket。許多知名人士也曾協助推廣這個平台，將自己的名聲、
影響力與公信力借給這家公司。」

據報導，LeBron James 每年可獲得 1,500 萬美元，
作為推廣這個預測市場平台的酬勞。

面對外界批評，Polymarket 的一名發言人向《Front Office Sports》
表示：「相較於我們所有人都深陷其中、往往導致大眾受到誤導，甚至因幻滅
而陷入冷漠的錯誤資訊，預測市場能夠針對重要事件提供更完善、較不受偏見影
響的資訊。」

「這起案件，以及更廣泛而言的大學校園性侵問題，都是極其重要的議題。
預測市場能針對此類事件在司法體系中的進展，提供客觀、以數據為基礎的洞察。
這是一個值得獲得更多透明度與真誠關注的議題。」

簡單來說 POLY在九月底開始一個美國社會議題的賭注，

就是被控強暴女生的七個康乃爾男大學生之一，會不會被法官判有罪。

你可以押注會不會有人被判刑與否，那你就能贏錢了。

去搜尋一下關鍵字 "Cornell 7"

引發學生抗議

然後一群不滿的獨立記者、社會團體強烈抗議，

要老詹跟其他退休名人運動員切斷跟POLY的代言關係，

Polymarket is taking bets on whether the seven Cornell students accused of
raping a student will receive a felony sex crime charge.

Among the athletes endorsing Polymarket:

LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Sue Bird, Reggie Bush and Richard
Sherman.

POLY在壓力之下，緊急把這個爭議的押注撤掉了。

老實說，這其實跟老詹聲稱所謂的NFL比賽代言無關，

他是有點被掃到颱風尾。



你名人收了錢，拍了影片打了廣告，發文推薦，

那這個公司幹的狗屁倒灶的事情，跟你也會有關係。


所以說名人代言真的要慎選，千萬不要為了眼前的利益，把自己的名聲搞壞。
