Some firm in the US was tasked with calculating the financial cost to organisations of employees playing fantasy football and clocked it at $13 billion, up from $6bn two years prior.

I'd like to thank the VP3 coaches for contributing to the doubling of fantasy dollars in the two seasons we have been active.
Without our efforts who knows what our firms could have produced with our attention firmly centered on their goals, instead of our own.
I'd also like to thank our firms for allowing us the space to clear our minds of their organisational-mumbo-jumbo with a little escapist fantasy. We are better workers for the short breaks we take each day to plot our opponents demise and wonder how it is that the benched player always performs better than the active ones, and what we can do to trick the universe into thinking the active player was benched so they perform better.
Obviously the $13bn is not really lost from the US economy - if it wasn't fantasy football it would be something else.
