Fantasy Football (gridiron) was started upon the NFL game stats. There have been repeated citations of injuries to players, including many CTE cases, and these players frequently come up through the ranks from poverty as a method to earn scholarship education and income. The exploitation occurs because for many players, this may be their best path out of low economic conditions and are coerced to play when injured, and frequently discarded by football when they become injured leaving them with nothing.
