The Issue

Dear State and Federal Government,

          I am nothing special. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. Yet, I am the man you are trying to "protect" from this evil gambling empire. I write this today to let you know, I DO NOT want, nor NEED your protection!!! Daily Fantasy Sports is NOT ruining my family, I am NOT an addict, I do NOT need help! It only makes watching sports MORE ENJOYABLE for me! You say it is gambling, YET it is perfectly legal for me to go to a casino, a venue that YOU support, a venue that lines YOUR pockets, and GAMBLE my HARD EARNED money on a slot machine (which over the long haul I will LOSE money) It is perfectly legal for me to go to a casino and GAMBLE my hard earned money on table games like craps, and roulette (also going to take my HARD EARNED money) It is perfectly legal for me to go to the gas station and GAMBLE my hard earned money on a lottery ticket or scratch off (which I'm also not going to win) You question the moral fiber of Daily Fantasy Sports yet it is perfectly legal to do the exact same thing you claim Daily Fantasy is, GAMBLING, at venues that YOU sponsor, that line YOUR pockets! In YOUR casinos you over-serve us alcohol to try to get more of our hard earned money (how sweet and righteous of you) ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I'm not even going to get in to how Daily Fantasy is actually a GAME OF SKILL, and REWARDS the player for the amount of EFFORT AND RESEARCH you put in to it! You claim it is gambling and is bad for me, yet I can come home after a HARD DAYS LABOR, grab a cold soda, and put in a team FOR A QUARTER, YES A QUARTER, sit back and enjoy the game even more! I can't even park at YOUR GAMBLING VENUES for a quarter, and when I go in and try to play YOU REQUIRE I WAGER $10 per hand/spin/etc! This seems like a lot of the "pot calling the kettle black" and it NEEDS TO END!


Dear State and Federal Government:

              As a viral YouTube Video once said, "LEAVE DAILY FANTASY SPORTS ALONE!" To us, THE PEOPLE, it is an enjoyable HOBBY, that we DO NOT want taken away from us!

To Nevada State Government, 

         Please consider making brothels illegal! It's just gross, really!
