Menendez, Pallone reinforce criticism of daily fantasy sports industry
“Daily fantasy sports is an industry crying for consumer protection,” said Congressman Pallone. “Despite its explosion in popularity and the allegation of ‘insider trading’ by employees of daily fantasy sports operators, the industry is operating in a void within the legal structure – without any regulation or the necessary transparency. The backdrop of MetLife Stadium calls attention to the fact that the same professional sports leagues and teams that support and invest in fantasy sports betting, are opposed to and serve as a barrier to professional sports wagering. The illegality of sports betting has forced it to function almost exclusively through organized crime, and the lack of regulation of daily fantasy sports has left the industry open to unfair practices and consumer vulnerabilities. Both need to be taken out of the shadows and should be legal and regulated.”

LOL, those clowns are the answer to the question 'Who are bigger hypocrites than the pro leagues?' They make millions off the kids playing and allow them pennies in return.

LOFL. That should be read as 'Daily fantasy sports is an industry crying for government intervention.'

One comment in BennyProfane's post here jumped off the page at me:
Meanwhile, my wife's dog could point and bark at the NFL schedule, and she'd pick better than Fezzik.
Benny - what the heck did I miss? We're due for an update.
