Hypocrisy, Waiting for the Blowover, or Legit? ESPN cuts ties with DraftKings.

(Deadspin)

ESPN's Outside the Lines actually made a corporate announcement today!

In light of revelations which are indicating that Daily Fantasy Sports are as rigged as the NFL, ESPN is temporarily cutting advertising ties with DraftKings.

Of course, this also means a massive amount of advertising time has opened up!

The next question, of course, is how long this will last...

And it sounds like the predictable ESPN/Corporate line will hold out -- as long as until we forget about it.  Pressed for an answer several times by Deadspin, ESPN's PR department would only admit that the cutoff of DraftKings ads (so no cutoff of Fan Duel?) would be a function of the newsworthy nature of the revelations thereto.

Shyeah.  Right.
