I obviously disagree with him, but I didn't think it was that bad. It's certainly weird - what's his motivation for writing it? The only problem I have with it, as far as it being "unfair" as an opinion, is that he mocks the effort to exempt poker from the UIGEA but doesn't mention the horse racing and lottery exemptions.

The biggest problem, from my point of view, is that the writer really never makes a point - like, at all.

He bumbles around, mocks lobbyists and congressmen, and basically tries to mock the idea that poker is a sport . . . but he doesn't really say "this is a bad idea" or "I do not support their position," just that they haven't played their hand yet. Just a bizarre article, all the way around - unlike HumblePie, I can't really agree that he laid out his argument at all. It was a diatribe, and poorly formed at that.
