"In 2013, with no fanfare, Major League Baseball purchased a financial stake in DraftKings."
"And so Major League Baseball became the first organization to join the daily fantasy business. The league purchased a small stake in the company, although it did so without making the deal public."
"MLB and DraftKings are finalizing a deal to broaden their relationship and further integrate DraftKings’ services into MLB’s online presentation, multiple people familiar with the situation said. The deal will likely come before opening day. While details are not available, one person said MLB is “going to go all-in on it in a big way.”"
Just so I am clear, you receive a lifetime BAN if you bet on baseball but the league that issues such a ban is more than willing to profit from the lure of gambling by way of daily fantasy sports? Got it.
If Manfred doesn't overturn Pete Rose's lifetime ban, there is something very wrong.
