The NY Attorney General Is Trying To Ruin Sundays

What will football fans do without the distraction of daily fantasy leagues?

Fantasy Player Who Deserves To Die A Slow, Painful Death:
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is trying to shut down the two big daily fantasy sites this week, leaving me with no one to play on the Deadspin staff in head-to-head. THE FUCK, BRO? Where are you priorities? What about, like, the banks? #STICKTOCRIME, jerkface! How dare you take away MY right to get scammed into bankruptcy by two enormously shady enterprises! Is this Russia? This is not Russia. Smdh.

— Deadspin columnist Drew Magary, lamenting the New York Attorney General’s crackdown on FanDuel and DraftKings. Without daily fantasy leagues to distract us, football fans may be forced to confront the grim reality that the sport we love is killing its players by chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and that’s just a little too heavy for a Sunday afternoon.
