Tennessee, why are you always so dumb?
Any fantasy sports contest amounts to "illegal gambling" in Tennessee, argues state Attorney General Herbert Slatery in a new opinion released Wednesday. The sweeping opinion covers all fantasy sports, the massive industry where contestants choose individual players from professional sports teams to compose their own virtual teams in a competition with other contestants. Although states across the country have grappled with the legality ofdailygame sites, where the entire contest is completed in the course of one day and generally involves monetary prizes, Slatery's opinion specifically applies to all fantasy sports.
