Re: DraftKings and FanDuel: Irrational anger?

I don't watch ESPN, so I get to miss a lot of this stuff.

But it irritates the hell out of me, and not really because the product they push is being sold with lies (or at least with massively inflated statistics), but it's the anger I feel whenever the same ad is run over and over.

My watch nerd son created a buckle for a watch band this summer while working at a watch company.

They are using his design in their new bands.

For a kid who just started 2nd year in an Industrial Design course, this is massive.
