The State of the Daily Fantasy Sports Industry w/ Ron Shandler

"A Podcast To Be Named Later"

Guest Ron Shandler

I wrote an article that was published by BaseballAmerica.com on March 4, 2016 discussing the future of Daily Fantasy Sports. Don Van Natta Jr. recently wrote his own article about the "implosion" of the Daily Fantasy Sports industry. My article discussed a lot of the same issues as Van Natta's does. My article was a detailed look at how the DFS industry grew and where it stood in March as legal issues mounted and confidence swooned amongst players and critics. Van Natta's article is more of a criticism of the industry leaders and an analysis of where the industry stands now, in August of 2016. He focused on the beginnings of the two industry leaders, Fan Duel and DraftKings, their CEO's personal squabbles, their hubris and the arrogance that caused their potential "implosion."

Here are links to BOTH of the written articles and to BOTH Podcasts (2/5/2016 and 8/31/2016) that I discussed the State of the DFS Industry with Ron Shandler.
