P.S. Yes, fantasy footballers are big nerds just like roleplayers, don't let anyone tell you different. Their passtime is not more "macho" or "cool" just because it revolves around a professional sport. It still involves dorking out on "fantastical" situations. 'Nuff said.
This is something that's never really taken off in this country. i think it's a shame as other people who like to pretend they have anything to do with the national sport over here tend to get drunk and violently attack people. Bring on the fantasy soccer!

ReplyDeleteIf he wears a jersey mention to him that he's a cosplayer as well.

ReplyDeleteI heard a comedian once describe it as D&D for guys who used to beat up the guys that played D&D.
