Daily Fantasy Sports: Wicked or Wonky?

American football and baseball are not derivative of rugby and cricket, and this miniature American flag I’m waving will prove it! If you believe that, I’ve got some dental floss to sell you.

Let me be forthright about my muddled perspective before I dive in. I’m American; however, I haven’t lived in the US for four years and counting, preferring the welcome arms of Central/South American and Caribbean lands—sentiments shamefully unreciprocated by a significant voting bloc of Americans.
