That headline is what I imagine the conversation must have gone like right before one guy shot his friend while checking fantasy football scores on Sunday. Now, I am praying that this argument had nothing to do with fantasy football, and it was purely coincidental that they were checking fantasy football scores at the time. Maybe they were playing Russian roulette over who would get to claim Shonn Greene off the waiver wire, and this was just their creative away of doing it.
Why should this not have happened? It is just fantasy sports! The name of the industry should give it away, it is about “fantasy” or in other words “pretend” sports. I love working in this industry, but taking the games too seriously is a problem. They are supposed to be fun, remember?
(Twenty minutes later, but a very important rant later) Turns out a second article had additional information, and alcohol and stupidity were involved in the fantasy football shooting. This is not surprising, and gets into a whole new argument about gun safety, for which this is not the place.
Seriously, I have known friendships that have ended over fantasy sports and that is just silly. This is supposed to be fun, do not take it too seriously, okay?
