Cuomo buys into ‘games of skill’ propaganda

So Gov. Cuomo — in finally allowing the likes of young men-targeting, sucker-betting FanDuel and DraftKings license to operate in New York State — parroted that ridiculous canard that they’re “games of skill” — as opposed to games of financial risk, aka sports gambling, and rotten-odds gambling, at that.
So we now can presuppose those young adults who tapped out their credit cards or are piling up credit card debt — among the worst kind — can explain it as having lost their money “participating in games of skill.”
And where would Gov. Cuomo direct those who are in over their heads, many desperate to continue chasing their lost games-of-skill money, for help? Would it be to Games of Skill Anonymous or Gamblers Anonymous?
