    Not sure if anyone saw this, but the Christian Science Monitor wrote an Op-Ed against the recent court ruling saying that online poker is not illegal gambling under IGBA:

    PPA Vice President of Player Relations Rich Muny wrote a response on behalf of the online poker community today:

    LOL @ these narrow minded religious boyscouts. Stop worrying about our games & stay focused on your cult.

    Rich, have Focus on the Family or any non-religious groups spoken out against the IGBA ruling? I've seen more and more major media outlets pick up on the story, so I know there's potential for other groups besides CSM to critique it and provide their vantage point.

    Interesting. This decision has gotten a ton of mainstream press. Friends I have who have no clue about much of anything related to poker have even heard about the poker skill game ruling, so there's definitely a lot of traction.
