I have to get my girlfriend's approval on my fantasy football team name.
By @danaee · Relationships
they says if it represents 'us' in a league with our friends, she should have veto power. I think she's being ridiculous because it's my team and it has nothing to do with her.
The full story
My girlfriend and I are in a fantasy football league with a bunch of our friends. It's a fun, casual thing, but I take my team seriously. Last night, I'm setting everything up and I tell her my team name and she immediately says 'absolutely not.' She claims that because we're a couple, my team name reflects on her and she needs to approve it. And then she started pitching her own ideas, which were all terrible, making it even more dramatic. I told her it's my team, my entry fee, and I'll name it whatever I want. Now it's a whole thing.

What people are saying
@yarakinda — My wife tried to do this with my hockey pool team name, I told her she can name the next kid if I can name my team.
@yaraee — Name the team one of her terrible suggestions and then when you lose a week you can blame it on the bad team name karma.
@yaralately — A man's fantasy football team name is his own business, period.
@violetsorta — It's just a silly game, but if she feels like it reflects on her in front of your friends, I can see why she'd want a say. Being a good sport means making sure everyone's having fun, right?
@miloliterally — no shes right name it something embarrassing
