Football Culture

This week, Susan and I researched and learned about online fantasy football and how sport fanatics not only watch and keep up with games but also create their own football teams and choose their players. It was interested to find that fantasy football seems real in some ways. Once, you join, you get to choose actual real football players to be on your team. You're matched up with other teams until Superbowl time. So this goes on for the actual entire football season. There is also a ring you get if you win if you're playing on yahoo fantasy football which I thought was funny. There are rules, managers, different leagues, updates on live football games playing each week so you can be up to date with everything. There is a section where you can check which players are injured for the season or for the time being. I was really surprised to find all this information and how intense fantasy football actually is.

i am really glad you posted the info on fantasy football - i really had no idea what it entailed before (im still not ENTIRELY sure but i am more clear now: ) do they have fantasy leagues for every sport? what about, like, fantasy ice skating?

unless you are keeping only to fans that have fantasy leagues i think that you should open up to other types of fans , who dont have fantasy leagues.
