Why do people play fantasy football?
Everyone watching football at home thinks they can do a better job than a coach or a GM, and I often agree. You think these guys are boneheads. Fantasy football gives you the chance to manage your own team and pick all the best players; that way you don’t have to criticize all the guys in real life. You compete against your friends or people you don’t even know and it’s fun. Fantasy football is competitive and it’s a way to add to your enjoyment and your knowledge of the game. It makes every football game important. You can be watching a Sunday night game between two terrible teams, and fantasy football will make it a lot more fun to watch because your fantasy players are involved, and your opponents fantasy players are involved. I think a lot people also like to play fantasy football for money. Let’s be honest: it gives you a chance to win a little money through betting, as well as bragging rights. I think that’s why people play.
