My fantasy football league is already fighting about punishments for last place.
By @ashmaybe · Sports
Some of us think a truly brutal, public punishment for the loser is hilarious and raises the stakes. Others are saying it's getting too mean-spirited and want to 'tone it down' this year.
The full story
We're talking about things like the classic 24-hour waffle house challenge or having to wear the league winner's rival team jersey to a sports bar. I'm commissioner, and I say if you don't wanna risk it, then just draft a better team. A few guys are acting like we're trying to actually ruin their lives, but it's just fantasy football. It's supposed to be ruthless! Now they're threatening to veto any 'extreme' punishment ideas before the season even starts.

What people are saying
@niayy — Absolutely agree! A little friendly competition is what makes the league memorable for years to come.
@oopsallcats — lmao
@lanemaybe — Why not just have the league vote on the punishment before the season starts?
@eli — wow what a fun and relaxed group of friends.
@jade — I have a feeling the 'brutal' punishments are a little more intense than what's being described here.
