Ok this isnt my normal fantasy football type post but since this is BRAG fantasy football and we are coming up on another season. I figured I better take the time to let those that dont know when its ok to brag that this video is a perfect example of when bragging is probably not the best option.
Think Before You Brag
Yahoo’s free fantasy football leagues and their premium pay fantasy football games have been a leader among many die hard football fans over the years. Yahoo has filed a lawsuit against the NFL Players Association who has been threatening to sue if Yahoo doesnt pay licensing fees for NFL player data used for stats tracking in their fantasy football leagues. Yahoo had a licensing agreement that expired in March but is stating that they shouldn’t have to pay for information that is publicly available. The Major league baseball players association lost a similar lawsuit in 2007.
With the number of fantasy football owners and league managers estimated at 15 million does the NFL players really want to tick off those fans. I would think the players association is already making more than its fair share off of the licences NFL hats, shirts, souvenirs, ball and other football player and team logo gear that they sell. Why do they need to squabble over fees for data that every newspaper, magazine, radio and television across the country publishes daily and hourly through the NFL season. From a fan stand point if Yahoo has to stop their free fantasy football leagues because it can’t afford the fees I will truly be upset. The price of NFL football tickets have already gone through the roof to the point that a dad can barely afford to take is son to the occasional football game. Well that’s enough ranting , I hope Yahoo wins this lawsuit
Ok I know its a bit early yet but all these ads on the internet and tv for fantasy football are starting to make me drool. I’ll be working over the next few weekends to work out this years fantasy football setups and hopefully provide something unique to this years fantasy football league again. It’s almost time for nick to give up his spot for the world’s worst fantasy football player and redeem himself a a legitimate threat to atleast make it to the playoff’s this year. If you have any suggestions on something you would like to see in this years fantasy league let me know. I plan on starting some fantasy football for beginners tips and posts about how to draft a quality fantasy football team.
