I Have Different Fantasies

This post on Sports Law Blog provides a nice analysis of this week's court decision denying Major League Baseball and its players the right to prevent commercial fantasy league operators from using statistics. While I can't claim enough legal expertise to know whether the decision is the correct one (and the Sports Law poster seems to have some doubts about the court's analysis), I am rooting for MLB to win on its appeal.

Why? Because anything that limits or, God willing, ends the plague of fantasy leagues would be a good thing. No, wait. It would be a great thing. Someone needs to tell these faux stat heads that sports are their own fantasy, so they ought to try just watching the damn games and rooting for or against the teams that actually exist. What a concept!
