So, they didn't bother with the whole voting and democracy thing?

Apologies to all our fantacy fans but I've had it with all of the ones that stand up and cheer at awkward Patriots game moments because one of their non Patriot fantacy players just got points. Annoys the hell out of me at Gillette.

"I'll pay money to say this player will have a good day. And if he does, I'll win more money.

But that's not gambling."

I mean, really?

I'm OK with any Patriots 'fan' getting clocked in the jaw for that. Stadium, bar, wherever. You don't root against the team... for anything

IMO, Fantasy is one of the reasons the game is losing it's luster... for me. The MFL is loving the attention/money it's creating.

I suspect this never happened.

Then I suspect you haven't been there recently.

If NY voted on every insider trading scandal they wouldn't be known for the NY minute.

You would be wrong.

 

[oldrover]

A vote isn't required to enforce a law.

It reminds me of those scintillating moments when people insist upon showing me pictures of their f###### cats or dogs.

As would you.

That's not what happened. They didn't decide to prosecute insider trading. They expanded a law to include them that excluded them. Usually new laws are done through the legislature.

The shakedown begins.

Gambling is illegal. Fantasy football is gambling. And.... Bob's your uncle.
