Fantasy sports gone political

But anyway, according to a USA Today article Fantasy Sports has hired a lobbyist. Yes! Not a fantasy lobbyist. A real honest to goodness guy to lobby congress. Lobby congress?

The Fantasy Sports Association wants to clear the way so Fantasy sports enthusiast to be free to wish their fantasy team well. Wish them well? Well, you know. Win the kitty. A fantasy honey pot. Do I have to say it? A MONEY pot. You know like a pool.

Well some call it gambling. Some call it an investment in their fantasy sports franchise. And we have to protect our fantasy franchise. Don’t we

So now we can add this Fantasy sports franchise to our already Fantasy Indian Casinos and Fantasy racetrack sports books. All need protection from anti-fantasy interests. Sometimes known as government gaming regulators. Regulators who collect taxes on sports betting. Sports betting? Yes, it is all wagering, betting, and most of all gambling.

So, the next big thing will be a Fantasy Internal Revenue Service agent. Fantasy judgment leans on fantasy vacations homes and fantasy luxury cars. But to counter that, Fantasy Sports has also created a Fantasy Political Action Committee. PACs offering goodies to Fantasy Congressmen for favors returned. For Real? Yes, for real. This is no fantasy.
