Fantasy Sports: Game of Skill
Monday, May 23, 2016 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] With all the issues that are currently plaguing this state, I find it absurd that this is even a question whether or not the people of Illinois should have the right to participate in daily fantasy sports. To ban fantasy sports, while sponsoring a lottery that until recently wouldn’t even pay its winners, is beyond hypocritical. Rep. Michael Zalewski was on a local radio station and discussed the current legislation that is available to be put in place. The state telling me whether or not I can spend $3 on a fantasy sports entry is extremely frustrating. Instead, something the state does encourage is the lottery, which requires zero skill and has an astronomically lesser chance of winning, but is a major source of income for the state. - Gregg Cooper, Chicago
