2026年WSDA冬季冠军赛PF辩题：
Resolved: The federal trade commission should establish a federal regulatory framework for sports betting.
美国联邦贸易委员会应建立体育博彩联邦监管框架。
这不是一个简单的政策辩论，而是一场触及美国宪法架构、联邦制本质、消费者权益保护与科技伦理的深度交锋。
英锐资深教练带来的WSDA冬季冠军赛PF辩题示范赛，为参赛选手提供了极具参考价值的实战思路。
一起来看正方一辩Miecke教练与反方一辩Leo教练，如何从不同角度破题立论——
1. 联邦监管能减少导致成瘾的欺骗性营销
体育博彩的“风险免费”等促销手段常具误导性，而联邦贸易委员会（FTC）在规范真实、非欺骗性广告方面拥有核心权威与经验。全国性的统一标准能有效遏制掠夺性营销，保护消费者，尤其是年轻人。
正方一辩Miecke教练立论：
“Contention 1: a federal FTC framework reduces deceptive promos and predatory marketing that drive addiction. Deceptive promos are a documented problem. Reuters explains how ‘risk-free’ offers often refund losses with non-withdrawable bonus credits and extra conditions… Meanwhile, the FTC’s core rule for advertising is straightforward: the claim must be truthful and not deceptive. A federal framework can set clear, enforceable standards for sportsbook ads and promote disclosures nationwide… Gambling disorder now sits in the same diagnostic category as substance use disorders… A 2025 U.S. News and World Report survey found nearly one in four bettors missed bill payments due to gambling, 30% went into debt because of sports betting…”
2. 解决各州法规“拼凑”问题，防止监管套利
当前各州为政的监管模式存在漏洞，运营商可利用监管最宽松的州进行激进营销，却通过全国性媒体影响所有消费者。联邦框架能建立基线保护，弥补这一缺陷。
正方一辩Miecke教练立论：
“Contention 2: a federal FTC framework fixes the patchwork problem that bad actors exploit. Sports betting is legalized state by state, but the consumer harms are national. Apps, ads, and data flows cross borders. Patchwork rules invite loopholes and uneven enforcement… The impact: without consistent national standards, companies can push the most aggressive ad tactics and promos designed for the weakest rule states, while consumers everywhere are exposed through national broadcast media.”
1. 侵犯州权，违背联邦主义原则
当前州级监管体系源于最高法院2018年对“墨菲诉NCAA案”的裁决，该裁决确认监管赌博的权力属于各州。联邦统一框架是对州权的践踏，忽视了各州在经济、文化和道德观上的差异。
反方一辩Leo教练立论：
“Contention one: States' rights and federal overreach. The foundational problem with the resolution is that it tramples established principles of federalism and states' rights… The court held that the federal government cannot force states how to regulate sports gambling. States retain authority absent explicit congressional delegation… Federal regulation under the FTC would override this autonomy, forcing a one-size-fits-all regime that undermines democratic governance at the state level.”
2. 联邦贸易委员会缺乏专业能力，且将助推黑市
FTC缺乏监管复杂博彩行业的专门知识，如年龄验证、反洗钱等应由州博彩委员会处理。此外，过于严格或繁琐的联邦规则会迫使投注者转向无监管、风险更高的黑市，反而损害消费者保护的目标。
反方一辩Leo教练立论：
“Contention 2: FTC fails. The FTC's mandate focuses on consumer Protection and antitrust, not on specializing in gaming regulation. Sports betting involves complex issues such as age verification, gaming integrity, anti-money laundering, geolocation enforcement… State gaming commissions are better equipped at handling all of these issues.”
“Contention 3: black market activities… Research in gambling markets shows that even well-intentioned regulation does not automatically eliminate illegal betting… The reason is simple: if federal rules make legal betting more burdensome… illegal operators with lower overhead can offer better odds and easier access. This dynamic undermines the very consumer Protection goals that proponents of federal regulation claim to champion.”
