The Most Fantasy Football-Obsessed States . . .

Labor Day marked the unofficial start to fall , the unofficial start to NFL season, and the unofficial start to FANTASY FOOTBALL. A new report says that 23% of American adults participate in sports betting. 19% participate in some type of “fantasy sport”. And 79% of them, play Fantasy Football. The state that’s the most fantasy football-obsessed is Minnesota. Wisconsin is second, followed by Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Ohio. The LEAST fantasy-obsessed state is Wyoming. They found that Arizona Cardinals fans are the BEST at running pretend teams (Chargers fans are also good, as are Raiders fans). Baltimore Ravens fans are the worst at Fantasy Football (Tampa Bay fans do the second-worst). 53% of Cleveland Browns fans would give up alcohol for a YEAR, if it meant winning their fantasy football league (I thought that was going to say “if it meant the REAL LIFE Browns winning the Super Bowl” . . . sigh). 46% of New York Giants fans would rather watch their fantasy players than the actual Giants team.
