Fanatics founder and CEO Michael Rubin at his office in New York. Sports merchandise giant Fanatics is firing back against sportsbook giant DraftKings in an ongoing legal fight over Fanatics' hiring of a top DraftKings executive. In February, Hermalyn accepted a position as the president of Fanatics VIP and head of Fanatics' Los Angeles office. He reports directly to CEO Michael Rubin. DraftKings is suing Hermalyn in federal court, arguing he downloaded confidential company documents and tried to recruit other employees away from DraftKings.
