About 40 minutes into the film, the original creators of Rotisserie League lament that they never shared in the great financial success that fantasy sports has become. It seems their focus was on the name Rotisserie League and not the idea behind it. They sent many "cease and desist" letters to others who were using the Rotisserie League name but the copycats eventually figured out that all they had to do was call their version "fantasy" baseball. While hindsight is 20:20, in my view the creators would have been much better off trying to obtain a patent on their idea. This would have given them the right to try to prevent others from using the fantasy sports idea no matter what it was called--a much more profitable right under the circumstances.
