Americans have been betting on sports since the first time a Puritan pilgrim boasted that his horse was the fastest in Massachusetts Bay Colony and another said, “Wanna bet?” But fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and government gotta fret about gambling on fantasy sports. Torrential television advertising by DraftKings and FanDuel is creating millions of customers for these sports fantasy businesses, thereby creating government anxiety lest Americans make unregulated choices inimical to their material and moral well-being.
In today’s decidedly un-puritanical United States, betting on sports is illegal, except where it isn’t (Nevada, Oregon, Montana, Delaware). Besides, much more money is wagered illegally on sports than in legal casinos. Someday the number of Americans who bet on the Super Bowl will be approximately equal to the number of Americans.

According to the left wing nut job Robert Reich, there would be no fantasy football without government in the first place..... So for all of us that play (and win), we need to say THANK YOU GOVERNMENT.....
