Deadspin had two good articles about daily fantasy sports, one which I shared elsewhere but will post here for those who missed it.
First, an in-depth article about how the NFL’s influence allowed daily fantasy sports leagues to become reality.
Second, Barry Petchesky weighs in on how the recent DFS controversy may do more to set back a push for legalizing gambling than it may convince people to support it.
Needless to say, the DFS controversy isn’t going to die down any time soon, especially because those ads are certain to keep running constantly during NFL programming.
