it isn't much different than madden really. If someone was out there making money off my likeness and I wasn't getting a slice I would be pissed too.

The funniest part is he really thinks this is a logical question.

It's completely different. It really isn't similar at all.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and am assuming that you're joking.

It's a game based on public information (statistics).

Should he get paid by newspapers that report those statistics?

A fricking DT wanting to get paid for fantasy football

Fantasy football = more viewers = bigger TV deals = more money for players

A big part of the reason the NFL is so popular is fantasy football. He's already seeing that revenue, he's just not smart enough to realize it.

If Draft Kings is on TV advertising about paying out millions of dollars to it's players then I can understand an NFL player thinking maybe he should get some money too.

How about the fact that draft king attracting people makes the NFL more popular, which in turn leads to more money in his pockets?

Let's put it this way, he wouldn't be making as much as he is if fantasy football didn't exist. So yeah he's already getting paid for it.
