I do not understand the Uíge wine.
I am sure that is supposed to curb illegal gambling Youth (World of Warcraft, because it is better for a teenager of 17 years is poker.) I am sure that is supposed to combat money laundering (which is obviously Nothing illegal with oil, coffee and corn markets.) which were not even supposed to help other industries in the game (since if you play poker online you have obviously never go to Las Vegas again. )
However, for the life of me, I'm not where he came from.
It seems too preposterous to be true - too transparent to be a true bill asymmetrical. After all, we are still talking about what concerns the Uíge: poker is bad, but inexplicably, horse racing, sports and fantasy are fine. And I'm far from being the first person to see the origin of Uige. In fact, the journalist Ed Brayton requested the transcripts of a series of meetings that led to the drafting of Uige, but was rejected by the Government of the United States because, and I quote:
Note that the document you are looking for is currently approved in its entirety, in accordance with 5 USC § 552 (b) (1), which refers to information that is classified in the interest of national security in accordance with Executive Order 12958.
We can not hear the official version of the birth Uíge because it is a matter of national security.
Instead, why not look at the two main exceptions to Uíge - horse racing and fantasy sports - take a look [m1] to those who accept Uíge.
Horse Racing:
Much has been written about the link between Uige and the industry of horse racing, so I will be brief - horse racing is good because the industry bought a number of politicians. This is a quote from the lobby group American Horse Council:
"The provisions for protecting the horse races were included in [Uíge] package with the support of Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jim Bunning (R-KY), John Kyl (R-AZ) and Representatives Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Mike Oxley (R-OH) and Jim Leach (R-IA), "
This support came on the heels of more than $ 3 million in donations to politicians on Capitol Hill.
It is therefore far from being a mystery about why horse racing has been secured. But the next is a little less than, say, epistemological nature.
Fantasy Sports
For those who do not play fantasy sports, here's how it works. Players draft athletes (NFL players, NBA players, etc, etc) and go against other players in your league. The games are decided by a count of certain statistics for each team (touchdowns, receptions, points, batting average, etc., etc.) So, the most positive of the statistics of each athlete in their profits of the game, most statistics of positive fantasy sports fantasy player wins the game in his players to put money in the beginning of the season at the end of the season, the winners of each league to collect most of this money as the price of the pool (which hay que pagar honorarios y la liga para que nadie recoge todo el dinero puesto en el grupo de jugadores.) Recuerde que este no es el juego basado en la UIGEA / Gobierno de los Estados Unidos.
To give you an idea of the great fantasy sports have become, here are some figures.
In 2005, the year before the left Uíge 12. 6 million people have played at least one full season of fantasy sports in the United States.
Of these 12. $ 6 million, 92% were men (one million healthy women players) and 77% were married.
91% of the players were white and 86% owned their own home.
59% made over $ 50,000 per year and each player has spent an average of $ 493. 60 Sports this year, representing $ 4 billion of the industry.
And perhaps the largest number, 85% of the players in Fantasy Football Fantasy Sports.
Therefore, people who play fantasy sports in general are white, rich and, more generally, in football.
Ah, the NFL - the biggest sports league in America. Immeasurable flow of money that represents the Super Bowl every year for years on ESPN's sports show (NFL Live) of the NFL is king in the United States - and fantasy sports is no exception.
When it comes to fantasy sports, the NFL is even more lucrative than other major sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, PGA and NASCAR.) Although almost all fantasy sports league is owned and managed by an independent third party the NFL has his own fantasy league.
In fact, the NFL still gets royalties of more than $ 200 million in 2005,fake rolex, these independent companies to use NFL players names. No other league has this agreement, and the only reason the NFL because of his known weakness of the players that has relegated the control of almost all the players playing the race (and similarities) of the NFL office. In any case, the NFL has done a lot of money in fantasy football, not to mention the invisible benefits to attract additional viewers for games players (increased communication, which announced the price increase, thus increasing income.)
Enter Bill Frist. In 2006, Senator Bill Frist is the majority leader of the Senate and the main reason that pushed the Uíge in Congress, while other less important bills (such as health care reform) remained in the former part of Congress. Uíge but most do not easily through: it was made under the direction of the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
Frist plan to get the first Uíge was attached to a bi-partisan providing funds for the project team of U.S. law troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is the treatment rooms in paris online games illegal (not Uíge) has to do with funding the troops? Nothing, and enforcement of the Virginia Republican and Armed Services of the Senate, Chairman John Warner expressed his "firm opposition" to the inclusion of the Bill itself, both the time and the Senate as a whole.
Meanwhile, the NFL has had the wind of the possible regulation of recruitment and Marty Gold (former attorney for nothing less than the Bill Frist) to lobby Congress on their behalf. As an interesting observation, always wonder why the NFL is not the same kind of control over the steroids issue is the Major League Baseball? After all, the principle of defense in the NFL player (Shawne Merriman), was fined and suspended for steroid use, while the main culprits for MLB (Barry Bonds) has never been convicted of taking anything. Not to mention the fact that NFL players are obviously steroids (people do not get this size and remain strong and fast, of course, is not in God's plan.) I wonder if the bill sent 700,000 dollars of gold in the NFL for "services rendered in the Capitol in 2005" had something to do with it?
In any case, the gold (which he denied any knowledge of this) have been informed of the situation Goodell. Goodell then wrote a letter to Warner (a former Marine and Navy man himself) to ask him to include the ",rolex replica;implementation", which has been in the bill funding Uíge soldier. Warner again refused, but what interests us is Goodell's no note on the regulation of the Internet on Thursday. In fact, at some point between the two refusals Warner, was an interesting addition to Uige. This addition was the exclusion of fantasy sports as a form of illegal gambling on the Internet. "
Finally, Uige has found its way to the back of the law on port security, which was designed to create a division of the Office of Homeland Security to ensure seaports. The Uige has been included in this bill without a vote by all the negotiators at the end of a long session of Congress. While the authors of the bill, House Security Chairman Rep. Pete King (R-NY) was not an advocate for Uige, needs the votes of Senator Frist and other senators, was with him to pass through that part of legislation on homeland security. Uíge King said:
"I will not stop Thursday for a bill to the Internet … That was the last offer of the day. "
Although not yet know why it was so important to the time and friends to stop gambling on the Internet (maybe it really is a moral objection), it is quite clear how they passed by Congress. And it is exceptional, why horse racing and fantasy sports have been informed of the exceptions to the law. In general, whenever you want to discover the cause on Capitol Hill, all you have to do is follow the money trail.
