From the article:

The NFL won’t put any of this in a press release, but it’s true, and it makes sense. The NFL isn’t against gambling, after all; it’s against gambling that doesn’t maximize NFL profits. Our daily fantasy nightmare has arrived, and it is largely by the NFL’s design.

Even more interesting is who is heavily invested in this venture. http://recode.net/2015/07/26/another-un ... x-ad-deal/

From the article
"This funding round includes a number of other investors, from VC firms like Atlas Ventures and the Raine Group to pro sports leagues like Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and Major League Soccer. Sports ownership groups like the Kraft Group (New England Patriots) also invested."

In view of this, I supposed you could truly say that "deflategate" was a falling out among thieves.

Pretty typical response to everything these days. It's an easy and lazy out, just blame goodell

Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones are both invested in Draft Kings.

Don't know why you would blame Goodell. He doesn't control the laws in this country that regulate gambling.

Very true, but he sure worked hard lobbying for them with the law makers so there is a tie in there . But again, the real issue lies with the billionaires and not their lackey.
