FANTASY FOOTBALL 8 BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS?
By: Todd Perkins
Around the water coolers and coffee machines this morning, by far the most popular question was, how did your fantasy team do this week? My response was this, “one of my teams won and one of them lost.” Fantasy Football has gone main stream. Once an elusive boys club, even my girlfriend has a fantasy football team this year! I even heard one of the girls at the office say “That cute guy on my fantasy team really sucked this week”.
This summer, as I was determining which fantasy league I would conquer this season, I read an article which talked about not having fantasy football in 2011. I was shocked and scared! I could not imagine not spending two hours on Saturday night perfecting my Sunday line up. The article spoke of fantasy football advertising and jobs to be in a staggering neighborhood of 8 billion! Now that, I believe.
If the powers that be think that the system needs revision or adjustment, I disagree. Fantasy football is so easy to understand even the ladies are into it. Not having Fantasy football in 2011 might send this country into a recession so deep it would take us having to sell the U.S. to the Chinese to recover. Oh, wait we already did that. Good Luck tonight all you Aaron Rodgers fans.
