Draft Kings

As noted a couple of pages back, Limbaugh, Hannity, and I'm sure a few other political talk hosts have been doing live reads on their shows. We're pretty much there already.

 

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, newspapers are dying because advertisers are dropping as if gravity tripled.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Draft Kings advertises too much!!!

 

Just watched 30 minutes of Sports Center and saw even more daily fantasy commercials. DraftKings spots, along with two I had never heard of before--FantasyAces and Draft Ops.

They're multiplying.

 

Haven't seen a single one in my newspaper.

Anything else?

 

Something else for you to whine about then.

 

If they advertised with us, I'd surely be a bit more tolerant of their presence. Of course, they'd need to be a bit more measured with print ads than their TV bombast.

 

If they advertised in newspapers like they do on TV, would there be reader backlash because there would be a DK/FD add on every page?

 

I love how this thread went from Dick posting his daily loser lineups to complaining about DK's ads.

 

I don't even consider them bombastic. Just repetitive.

 

The reason I signed up with Fan Duel instead of Draft Kings was because it had a sponsorship deal with a site I write freelance for. So I guess that advertising was somewhat effective.

More reason to be annoyed at FanDuel. They're accused of illegally using copyrighted images in their ads.

 

This is actually worth a read. ...
