John Culhane reports that DraftKings employee Ethan Haskell has taken unfair advantage of the information he receives as an employee. As an employee of DraftKings, Haskell is justly forbidden from participating in DraftKings fantasy contests. However, there is nothing stopping him from entering contests in FanDuel, which functions under a system very similar to DraftKings. On September 27th, Haskell revealed that he had insider information, and that he was the “only one with this data.” With this data, Haskell outscored over 220,000 people in a contest that week and brought home $350,000. Culhane reports that many at DraftKings make more money on FanDuel contests than from their own salary. This is absolute corruption. Hundreds of thousands of people are losing their money to people who should not be allowed to participate in the contests. This calls for more regulation and the banning of employees from playing in their competitor’s contests. Many believe that those who work for one of the companies do not have an unfair unadvantage. Rather, they are just very knowledgeable in fantasy football and, after working with the game constantly, know the smartest way to play the game. This logic, however, is wrong. The evidence of Haskell beating out over 220,000 participants cannot be a coincidence. The corruption of FanDuel and DraftKings employees using insider information is one reason why daily fantasy sports need to be regulated; regulation will secure safety and fairness for all
Daily fantasy sports was extremely profitable last year in the US. DraftKings and FanDuel raked in billions while the hunger for daily fantasy sports betting was at its highest.
America spends more money on sports than any other country in the world. No other countries in the world have a bigger National Football Association (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), or National Hockey League (NHL). Not to mention that we as a nation spend more on collegiate, and high school sports. Fans love when their respective team drafts a new superstar, or make a blockbuster trade to bring in talent. However on the down side in recent years fans have also had to deal with lost cause seasons in order to make these trades, or draft these players. In today’s world teams are all about building their team for the future, even if that means losing a few games. While teams focus on the future they don’t take into account how fans feel, or current players. Winning always feels good, as losing always feels bad. Tanking is the name of the “strategy” that has been increasingly noticed in recent years. “The issue of teams' intentionally losing games for the sake of improving their draft position has been around for decades, or ever since Bill Fitch pulled off the Hakeem Olajuwon gambit back in 1984” (D’alessandro). When teams lose games to raise their draft stock in order to get good players for the future. Should teams be aloud to do this? Tanking not only has an impact on fans, but the players, and coaches need to find something to play for as well. With tanking occurring in many sport leagues moral, wins, and fan base all goes down in exchange for a possible rise in the future.
When you think of football you think of excitement or rooting for your favorite team. Unfortunately, we forget to realize the side effect of the helmet crashing hits. Football players endure a total of 1,500 hits to the head in one season which can cause one major problem: a concussion. We can imply that liberals stand for the rights of the people over the rights of the corporations. Four formal NFL players have sued the league and its helmet maker claiming they hid information about the dangers of brain injury. With that said from a libertarians perspective, NFL players should be informed about the dangers of brain injury from helmet making companies and should receive medical care for past, current and future NFL players.
One of the most important tools an organization can use is a SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis is comprised an in-depth look at an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (Abraham, 2012). Internal to this analysis are strengths and weaknesses while external factors are opportunities and threats. In this paper, I will develop and detail a SWOT analysis on the National Football League (NFL). Specifically, I will illustrate each component of the SWOT analysis as it applies to the NFL as well as providing ways of improving viewership. While the NFL has a unique product, the true value is derived through advertisers capturing the attention of viewers watching televised and live games. In other words, while the NFL has no direct competition in terms of another football league, any product that detracts from viewership can be considered a competitor.

Here now is a book by Nate Jackson called “Slow Getting Up: A Story of NFL Survival From the Bottom of the Pile,” and it’s everything you want football memoirs to be but never are: hilarious, dirty, warm, human, honest, weird.

A DraftKings employee Ethan Haskell leaked critical data from his company that helped him win $350,000 on their rival FanDuel (Pagels 1). People are taking information from sites that gives them the advantage over normal players allowing them better chances to win big. Opponents claim that the government needs to step in and regulate daily fantasy sports to protect consumers. Legal Las Vegas sportsbooks represent a very small portion of the sports gambling activity in the united states (Pagels 2). Government should regulate fantasy sports because less than 1 percent of it is being done legally by Las Vegas sportsbooks.

Early on in the book, Vivian states that, “There was a time when
