Make poker illegal and you only affect a relatively small number of people. Make fantasy football illegal, on the other hand, and you make criminals out of anyone who plays in a fantasy football pool with their friends or workmates or whatever... that's probably half the country or something. Remember that when the exemption for fantasy sports was included in the legislation years ago, DFS wasn't a thing. I'm pretty sure it was only included so that "traditional" office pools and the like would still be allowed to happen. [/QUOTE]
