Fantasy Football?

#20

Quote:The thing is though, the democrat lawmaker in the OP was more concerned about the ads during football games.

 

Some people like to gamble, and do so responsibly.  Others take it to the extreme as you pointed out.  However, that is an individual choice that should not be interfered with by big government.

 

In my mind, this is yet another liberal politician seeing something be successful, and wants to get a "piece of the action" for big government either through regulations or taxes.
I don't think that's it at all, JIB. I think it's a politician recognizing that gambling websites are disguising themselves as fun, free games, when really they're gambling sites designed to get you to spend large amounts of money on "fantasy" sports each week. I don't have any issue with a legislator stepping in to say that those weekly-league fantasy sites need to be honest about what they are--gambling sites--and stop trying to hide behind a "play for free" label.
