Why Fantasy Football Benefits the NFL

Recently I have been hearing more and more about how Fantasy Football is detrimental to the NFL.  This wave of sentiment seems to have started with a few sports columnists, who, as “football purists”, clearly see all new-fangled ideas as “destructive to the spirit of the game”.  They believe that fantasy football can encourage people to root for teams other than their home team, thereby (by means unknown), destroying the game.  Next they will be asking us to abolish the forward pass, saying it “undermines the integrity of the game.”  In all seriousness, though, most people who play fantasy football love it.  It is a great way to feel in control of your own team, and promotes a sense of competition.  For many people, it brings them closer to the NFL, rather than pushing them away.
