Fantasy football needs to be controlled by the government, at least according to Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ).
Pallone penned a letter to Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, demanding a hearing to examine “the relationship between professional sports and fantasy sports to review the legal status of fantasy sports and sports betting.”
The letter continues:
Pallone is concerned about fantasy football and its potential impact on society. Along with the request for congressional hearing, Pallone issued a statement reading:
Pallone, a Democrat, is historically a supporter of legalized gambling. In January, Pallone introduced legislation to advance the legalization of sports betting at the federal level.
He just wants to regulate it as well

The letter continues:
“Team involvement in daily fantasy sports also raises questions of whether players or league personnel, who may be able to affect the outcome of the game, should be allowed to participate in daily fantasy sports.”Wait, this sounds familiar…
Pallone is concerned about fantasy football and its potential impact on society. Along with the request for congressional hearing, Pallone issued a statement reading:
“Anyone who watched a game this weekend was inundated by commercials for fantasy sports websites, and it’s only the first week of the NFL season.”IJ reached out to Pallone’s congressional office to inquire if he participates in any fantasy sports leagues. There was no response.
