The NFLN stopped discussing point spreads because of the use of such spreads in legal and illegal gambling.
NFLN hasn't stopped given fantasy football recommendations. I could see action agains the league, if betting on fantasy football is deemed to be illegal gambling.
Kraft and Jones are already on the hook because their companies have equity interests in the banned fantasy football organizations.

I am NOT commenting on whether fantasy football is good or bad, interesting or not. However, it is clear that certain jurisdiction ban gambling, and others do not. And now, certain jurisdiction consider betting on fantasy football to be illegal gambling. I'm not sure why this is a surprise to anyone.
Perhaps every state and city should allow gambling. Perhaps internet gambling should be OK. The fact is that certain jurisdictions have other views.
