I drafted a player for my fantasy league just because he was cute.
By @violetee · Sports
Now my boyfriend, who is the league commissioner, is accusing me of not taking it seriously and wants me to trade the player. The whole league group chat is blowing up about it.
The full story
This is my first year doing a fantasy league with my bf and his friends. It's for the World Cup, so I thought it was pretty casual. During our draft, I kind of panicked on one of my picks and just chose a forward from a team I like because I saw him in an interview and thought he was attractive. My bf immediately called me out in the chat in front of everyone, saying I'm wasting a pick and disrespecting the league. It was so embarrassing. A few of his friends are piling on, but it's just a game, right?
