seems fair depending on team and what his teams needs are

trade is fair. but the rules are the rules and there is no changing them in the middle of the season. That being said, everybody in that vetoed that trade is a dick. thats why veto power should be soley in the hands of the commish and or co commish and not the people. that trade should not be vetoed. there will not be a single trade in that league that goes thru.

You are no longer obligated to pay btw. You agreed to pay 100 dollars with the rules that were set forth. If they change the rules, your not obligated to pay anymore. Drop out of the league now and tell them your not paying. If youve already paid demand your money back.

There is nothing inherently wrong with that trade. People should be allowed to make bad trades, trades that fill needs and such. The only trades that should be vetoed are obvious signs of collusion or that are just blatently gross.

Not this.

Bottom line is the league was formed with certain rules in place and one of them gives managers trade veto power. Every player should stick to the rules that were in place prior to the draft.

The only way that a rule change should be allowed at this point is by a majority vote. If the league wants to switch from league voting to commish approval, a majority of the players need to agree to it. I'd also do it anonymously so people don't get all butt hurt about who votes which way.

Democracy doesn't work in fantasy sports. Dictatorship, ftw.

Edit: Oh, and as to the trade, as others have mentioned, people need to understand that trades don't need to be "even" to be "fair." A manager shouldn't be penalized for negotiating a good deal. Maybe the dude with Cutler is hurting at RB and is willing to give up more to bolster that position. Only obvious collusion efforts should be shot down.

That said, changing the rules midseason is pretty awful and you should certainly be entitled to your money back, then to totally fuck the league by dumping your entire team into free agency.

Changing the rules bout voting on trades wk3 is fucked and I'm not paying obv.

I understand what you are saying, but at the same time its not my fucking problem that dude took P. Manning and J. Cutler in the first five rounds of the draft and is desperate for a rb in wk 3. Just cus he has a need at rb does not mean I should vote yes on said trade if i dont like it.

NO SHIT I don't understand where most u ppl think this is fair trade K. Moreno's points have come off of 3 fucking plays and he's a top 10 rb? U gotta be kidding me Moreno won't be in the top 15 rb's by the end of he yr imo.

The trade was not vetoed all trades "used" to be voted on by the league owners. and the majority voted no. If we all paid our hundred fucking dollars and were allowed to vote on trades than fuck everyone who bitches about it

heaving the league vote on trades is a terrible thing imo. that being said, changing the rules mid-season means i definitely wouldn't play in that league next year. when the rules are set, they need to stay that way the whole season.

another thing, say both of these teams are 0-2 and need to do something in order to have a chance, its BS that people can veto because they don't think its "fair"(when really they don't want these teams to improve in order to maybe take a playoff spot)

the guy getting witten and cutler is 2-0, the guy getting moreno is 0-2...
