Fantasy sports actually came up as a topic during last night’s debate among Republican presidential candidates, although only long enough for one candidate (Jeb Bush) to make a weak joke about his own fantasy football team then add a generic reference to the need for regulation, and another (Chris Christie) to complain about it being a trivial issue then add a generic reference to the need for the federal government to leave DFS alone.
It reminded me a little of people in poker sometimes wondering -- usually in a humorous way -- if online poker was going to come up in past debates or speeches.
