  1. So my group of friends have had, more or less, the same fantasy football league for 8 years or so. This year, the commissioner let two girls join. Now, they are planning the draft party. Some of the guys girlfriends are coming to now. WTF!? I am the only one who has a major issue with it apparently.

    What do you think of the Vagification of Fantasy Football?
  2. As a female, my fantasy football tactic is simple:

    1.) Think of a cute name for my team.
    2.) Let resilient manage it for the entire season.
  3. Well they will certainly be dead money but overall I'd just prefer there be no women involved unless they were scantily clad or serving drinks.
  4. Who has a fantasy draft with women?

    something sounds wrong.
  5. If I had to bet I would say this league does not involve money but I could be totally wrong.
  6. No it does. $50 buy in.

  7. no way a vagina would ever be allowed to join the league i have with my friends
     
  8. I'd be pissed about the other gf's showing up for the draft, the idea of Fantasy football for some ppl is to get out of the house on sundays. Sounds like they just want to make sure none of said bitches move in on you guys, but if girls want to put their money up it's whatever.

    Fair point.
  12. y'know, this reminds me of something that's bothered me for a long time. every time i watch a game on TV there's always shots of hot chicks in attendance, and just plenty of normal looking girls as well and i always think

    'wow, i want to meet these cool, jersey wearin', game-goin' women, so where the fuck do they hang out ? (other than at the game, obv?)'

    cause just about every girl ive ever dated hated sports or didnt care, and it would be fun if you could strategize about who to take in the 6th round if you get schaub in the 4th with your girl.

    /pathetic rant
  13. One season a kid brought his fat, ugly, pregnant girlfriend to our fantasy baseball draft + she did not just sit there twirling her hair and not speaking. She actually had the audactiy to try and pretend she knew anything about baseball. It took about 2 weeks for the emails abusing him to stop and it is still brought up to this day.

    EVery season since the commisoner has made sure to tell everyone to leave their wives and girlfriends at home.

    part of the awesomeness of fantasy sports is to bust your friends balls and make inappropriate comments about the lesser gender. Having girls in the league makes that much tougher, and allowing girls who arent even in the league to be part of the draft is just beyond absurd and criminal
  15. I got two chicks in mine, one being my girlfriend and they both know quit a bit about football and love beer... I would never let my other buddies in the league bring their wives/gf's though, nor would they want to. We def don't ease up on the shit talking either
  16. My wife is very good at fantasy football.... this year, she is taking over all my leagues under $100 entry! I very much enjoy having a wife that enjoys sundays as much as I do.
  17. why is there a picture of 2 goofy looking broads itt wearing cinci gear
  18. there better be some damn good food at the draft...
  19. Women + fantasy sports?

  20. how do u guys not have strippers at ur drafts??? both my leagues for the last 4 years had them. they help put up the players names standing there naked, then afterwards they perform their show and all the dances. the trick is to get them there for the last half of the draft or ull have a 5 hour draft
  21. I would threaten to quit, but then not really quit because fantasy football is the greatest thing in my life. Finally resort to just increasing the amount of rape jokes and general misogyny. I imagine the girls would still stay in the league and just tell their friends I'm an asshole, probably ruining my chances to date any of them. I'm pretty sure it's known that about half of the league would react in this same way so I don't think any of them will be inviting girlfriends to join.
  22. i'm in a league, and there's another girl too. i enjoy a lot of the same stuff that guys like, and my husband is happy because we have common interests.

    i like the shit talking and would hate it if they toned it down just because i have a vag.

    Reason: spelling
     
  23. i would definatley make sure to verbally abuse the girls at the draft beyond what I should. If they could handle it and hold their own and shit talk back, then all the power to them. Isn't that what fantasy leagues are all about anyways?

    So girls in the league. Sure.

    But bringing g/f's, wives, even guy friends to a fantasy draft or mid year meeting.....fuck that noise. not allowed. It's time away from ppl you hang out with everyday to fucking do something different.

    Gay league imo.

    pretty much this

    there are some things that should be sacred amongst a group of guys and fantasy football leagues are one of them. Even if my gf is somewhat knowledgeable about football, it's just not happening.

    also this, I think o/u on rape jokes I would use at the draft would be set at like 100.5
  25. I'm in a league with my girlfriend's work and it sucks. The girls only repeat whatever they heard guys say at the bar that day regarding sports. They're like parrots in short shorts...fuck your "pics or gtfo." The message boards are G rated with no real shit talking because everyone is scared of making one of the chicks cry.

    I only like the league with my guy friends.
  26. Bringing wives/gfs to a draft is retarded - as for those of you who have a problem with females playing fantasy football... awww sounds like someone's afwaid of getting beat by a girl ;)

    it has nothing to do with being 'beat by a girl.' I'm fully aware that there are plenty of women who are knowledgeable about football and could win a fantasy league.

    The point is, sometimes guys need to be guys and just around other guys. There are fewer and fewer activities that remain like that and fantasy football is quickly disappearing from that. I know this isn't the popular view in "today's America" but fuck it, sometimes some things should just remain between guys. That doesn't mean girls shouldn't play in leagues, just don't play in mine with my group of friends. That's all. I expect a lot of people feel the same way but as men become more and more pussified, I'm sure more and more will bend to the will of their gfs.

    I know I always quote Simmons but he says it better than I ever could:

    "And, of course, more and more women playing fantasy football and, in some cases, integrating all-male leagues.

    I hate the last trend for about 656 reasons, but mainly this one: If you asked any guy in 2000 what stereotypical things were unique to us -- things we had for ourselves, partly because we liked them and partly because guys just need to do things with other guys sometimes, and that's just the way it is -- they may have mentioned sports, fantasy, strip joints, Vegas, bad action movies, golf trips, urinals and/or long car trips in which one person keeps farting and bumming out everyone else in the car while laughing hysterically. That was the top-eight "Just F---ing Let Us Be Cavemen For Old Times' Sake" list in some order.

    Well, this turned out to be the decade when we lost Vegas -- you're just as likely to see flocks of female friends moving in packs now, only they're drunker, louder and clumsier -- and lost exclusivity over the fantasy domain as well. Pretty soon, we're only going to have golf, farting and urinals. (Note: That easily could have been the title for Adam Carolla's upcoming book; he went with "In Fifty Years, We'll All Be Chicks" instead.) I just wish we had better delineation. If women want to play fantasy football, fine. Just start your own leagues. Give us that one day or night when we sit around a table for five hours, fart, burp, drink, eat gross food, bust balls and say inappropriate things. Let us give our teams names like "Premature Pitinos" without wondering if we might offend you. Give us four months of e-mail chains in which we rip on each other -- and occasionally flip out and get pissed off -- without worrying about offending the opposite sex. I swear, we don't ask for much. And don't turn it into a freaking discrimination thing. This isn't discrimination. Not letting you play at Augusta -- that's discrimination. Nobody said you couldn't start your own league. Knock yourselves out. But let us breathe. Let us bond. Let us have our all-male leagues without giving us crap about it. For the love of God. Or else in 50 years we WILL all be chicks."
