Tossed under the fantasy bus
So I'm an avid fantasy sports player. I do baseball, football, golf, hockey, occasionally basketball, NCAA, and I have done Nascar (shhhhh, I was didn't know what I was getting myself into). Anyway, this year I was in a basketball league and it might be the last time I grace anyone's presence in a basketball league. I think there is a direct correlation between the type of person and the sport or team they are a fan of. I know basketball is full of trash talking on and off the court, but it appears it boils over to the fantasy end of it. I mean these people couldn't even find the hole in the basketball hoop and if they did, their head couldn't even fit through it. Anyway I didn't pay attention to the basketball league anymore and was happy to see the season go.
Moving on to baseball.... I've been playing fantasy baseball the longest, all the way back to the free Sandbox.com days. Now you have to pay for Sandbox.com, but there you get people who actually care about playing and there is a chance to win cash. Because I'm on welfare (well, pretty close) but !Yahoo still has free games and there's pretty decent people in those leagues. That was until this week. I'll try to keep this short....I like custom leagues, gives you different categories and usually they are pretty competitive. So I joined one. Little did I know that I was playing with a bunch knobs with IQs equivalent to their middle finger. Vulgarities, unnecessary comments about genitalia, people questioning others sexuality, and the kicker was rosters being modified without permission! That was my last straw!
I can only deal with so much juvenile behavior. I have more patience with toddlers than I do teenagers or adults. The start of all this was a comment I made to the commish about a player that he dropped of another team's roster without his permission. I checked my team later that evening and found the rest of my team was dropped and the players were already picked up by other teams. You're probably thinking I made some smart *** comment, but it was actually a pretty safe question asking if he was going to drop any more people if a player hit a grand slam against the White Sox (assuming he was fan). GO FIGURE! that some south-side, foul-mouth, fool would do that.
In all honesty, I don't care, I benched the rest of my team and called it a year. I changed my team name and talked some smack as a parting shot to the d-bag commish. I mean I didn't pay money and fantasy baseball isn't getting me anywhere. So congratulations to some guy who sits up to 1 in the morning caring about if he takes first in a fantasy baseball league while he twists one off to thePlayboy Logo channel.
