I know it is semantics, but I do not consider DraftKings, FanDuel and Derby Wars
"fantasy" sports, because the events which the players/fans are involved in are,
for lack of a better word, "real".
The term "fantasy sports" brings to mind hours spent playing both APBA and Strat
- o - Matic baseball board games in my early teens; I actually had to pull the
APBA game out when, in my early twenties, I was stranded in Tulsa for nearly a
year, and the archaic drinking laws in Oklahoma made becoming an alcoholic
impossible. (APBA even tried a horse racing board game as I recall).
Personal note: Sitting out Derby Wars until they write a tournament for maidens.
