Goodlatte is an ignorant [censored] At 3:47:00 he states that minors should be able to play fantasy sports. Does he not realize that some are for thousands of dollars?

IRC doesn't he also say that fantasy is not gambling...I'd bet he does even know what a fantasy league is...

I think Mr. Goodlatte is just playing ignorant and knows exactly what he is doing.

I can see a conversation like the following:

Questioner: "Mr. Goodlatte, do you feel it is legal to bet $20 that Tom Brady will throw for more passing yards than Peyton Manning this weekend"

Goodlatte: "Well of course not, that's sports gambling, which is clearly illegal"

Questioner: "Do you realize that fantasy sports charge an entry fee (or wager) which the stats of professional athletes determine if you win or lose money sometimes in the thousands of dollars?"

Goodlatte: "humanahumanahumana" "But what if cocaine, guns, family, states rights states rights states rights"
