Is Game of Skill the best protest chant of all time? GAME OF SKILL! GAME OF SKILL! GAME OF SKILL! Not to mention the fact I’ve never seen the foam #1 hand used at a protest before. Hilarious. Listen nobody wants DraftKings back more than I do. Especially after rumors that DraftKings is now asking their advertisers like ho hum the NBA to take deferred payment on ad deals. But what type of sicko actually wakes up and goes to protest this? Don’t these people have jobs? You got to be a real degenerate’s degenerate to assemble for this thing. Probably 75% of them were Rico’s Riders. Regardless at least I can respect this protest. These people weren’t going out of their way looking to protest shit. A problem arose and civil disobedience is the only way to get your message heard.
PS – I know we’ve already said this, but I don’t know how the “Game of Skill” thing is even in question. Schneiderman directly contradicted himself when he said it was total luck, but only 1% of the people who play DraftKings actually win. That’s because it is skill and math and algorithms. I’m not sure that’s the best answer for DraftKings either, but you can’t ban it based on the fact there is no skill involved when you openly admit only 1% of people win. But you shouldn’t be able to ban poker either so who freaking knows.
Game of Skill! Game of skill! Game of Skill!
